Based on Theodor Fontane's novel Oceane von Parceval, Detlev Glanert's eleventh opera is given its world premiere at Deutsche Oper.

The Austrian composer’s rarely heard one-acter proves triumphant in an intelligent, moving staging.

Stage director Ole Anders Tandberg casts Carmen as the leader of a gang of human organ dealers.

The production was interesting but at times distracting, but the musical performances triumphed.
