About the Event

Confront the dichotomy between truth and beauty in Schoenberg's unfinished opera as it is staged for the first time at the Teatro Real.

A provocative response to the rise of anti‐Semitism in 1930s Europe, Schoenberg's opera is a dramatisation of the brutal and insurmountable contrast between utopia and reality. How can we love what we cannot imagine? Romeo Castellucci, one of the most innovative directors in the European avant‐garde scene, attempts to answer this metaphysical question, with Lothar Koenigs — a seasoned interpreter of this piece — conducting.
