Performer: Götz Friedrich

Conductor Ivan Repušić leads a successful revival of Verdi’s playful masterpiece, with a solid cast.

Powerful performances in Götz Friedrich's Deutsche Oper production. 

People who claim that opera is nothing more than a glorified pantomime would have their prejudices confirmed at Deutsche Oper Berlin's Un ballo in maschera. This is, however, high praise. It’s an evening of camp entertainment, not a philosophy lesson.

A Puccini classic gets the classic treatment in this timeless production at the Deutsche Oper Berlin. 

Michaela Kaune, Albert Pesendorfer, Eun Yee You and Elīna Garanča transported the audience to a lost time and place, even while embodying their characters’ ultimate timelessness. 

Le nozze di Figaro in Götz Friedrich’s vintage production at the Deutsche Oper Berlin provides an entertaining evening.
