Performer: Antú Romero Nunes

There may be spiders, or zombies above your head. A spook show? Berlin's Komische Oper premiers a gothic musical theatre work by Heinrich Marschner... and it is a gory, good romp.

Both the music and the plot are heavily revised in Nunes' imagining of Rossini's final opera. But great performances and a coherent concept earned this unusual production a well-deserved standing ovation.

In der zweiten Festspiel-Premiere fesselt eine turbulente Inszenierung von Mozarts vielschichtigem Meisterwerk.
