Berg's Lulu: Bayerische Staatsoper

About the Event

Watch man after man come to grief lusting after the most perfect woman they have ever seen.

Berg's femme fatale is a blank canvas on which any man who sees her can project his fantasy, and then, having confronted it, is unable to resist her.

Alban Berg has described Lulu's path in subtle symmetry, with a score that bears within it the entire wealth of the history of music's form and colour.
