An astringent sorbet between the courses of a heavily sauced Wagnerian banquet.

January of 2017 sees the return of Verdi's Nabucco at the Deutsche Oper Berlin. This Keith Warner production of a Verdi favorite was successfully premiered by the Deutsche Oper in 2013, in the 200th anniversary year of Verdi's birth.

American composer David T. Little's Dog Days makes for a thrilling but disturbing theatrical experience in Bielefeld.

Nabucco opened the season at the Deutsche Oper Berlin, marking the first time in the company’s 100-year history that Verdi’s opera has been performed. Directed by Keith Warner, known for his often flamboyant productions, and conducted by Andrea Battistoni, the opera was warmly received by a delighted audience.

Mit seiner Hauptrolle, der kämpferisch emanzipierten Thirza, sticht dieses Musikdrama aus dem Repertoire der Opern des 19. Jahrhunderts heraus. Das Badische Staatstheater hat das Werk nach langer Vergessenheit für das Publikum von heute als packende soziale Studie über gesellschaftliche Aggressivität wieder auf die Bühne gebracht.
