Giustino is the second part of the trilogy resulting from the collaboration between lautten compagney BERLIN and the Milan-based marionette theatre Carlo Colla & Figli. The production was first performed in the Goethe Theatre in Bad Lauchstädt in 2017 and now returns to the stage in 2026 in a new configuration. The opera relates the fairy-tale rise of the supposed peasant’s son Giustino to emperor – a Baroque adventure with sea monsters, a bear and royal intrigues, borne along by musical levity and exuberantly imaginative staging. But precisely the abstract nature of puppet theatre transforms this heroic drama into a many-layered reflection on power, identity and male projection, opening up a space for interpretation that enables us to take a new look at “images of men” in the world of opera – right in line with this year’s festival theme.
