Nina Stemme in Ingrid Bergman's shoes: world première of Hans Gefors' Notorious

By Katharina Hogrefe, 19 September 2015

When one of the most sought-after sopranos of our time slips into the role of her most famous countrywoman, the foundations for an eventful evening of opera have already been laid. The Swedish world première Notorious, after Alfred Hitchcock's film of the same title, shows in an all-round successful production that contemporary opera can have a promising future.
