Performer: Tobias Kratzer

Tobias Kratzer gives his third Strauss production in three seasons at Deutsche Oper Berlin another contemporary spin. 

Tobias Kratzer's prelude to this new Ring cycle exceeds all expectations and scores a musical-theatrical success.

This revival of Kratzer’s production forces the audience to confront where personal responsibility starts and stops for acting under a tyrannical regime, while bringing Beethoven’s only opera to life – with a few twists.

With over 300 performances of operas, ballets and concerts, the Hungarian State Opera and National Ballet are ever resourceful. We preview their expansive 2025–26 season.
