Performer: Christoph Marthaler

A superb cast of singers is let down by Christoph Marthaler's cold, stilted staging as Reimann's Lear returns to its birthplace.  

An uncompromising approach to the unfinished score of Berg's opera results in a compelling musical and dramatic interpretation.

Theatre director Christoph Marthaler is renowned – if notorious – for his “off the wall” productions and adherence to bad boy antics. This Viaggio was no exception.
