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.
