Berlin, Deutsche Oper Berlin — Main stage
About the Event
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's 'The Marriage of Figaro' in a production by Götz Friedrich at the Deutsche Oper Berlin.
Figaro and Susanna are servants at the court of Duke Almaviva. Before they can tie the knot, however, they have a series of obstacles to overcome. Mozart's work is one of the most perfectly rounded musical comedies in the history of opera: timeless in its humanity, sophisticated in its treatment of characters, full of surprising developments, and extremely rich in musical ideas. Götz Friedrich's production follows the Mozartian concept, bringing to the opera a psychological perspicacity and an eye for absurdity as the storyline develops. He also displays a feel for human fallibility, the same fallibility that Mozart presents us within his process of critical analysis.
In Italian with German surtitles

Deutsche Oper Berlin
Deutsche Oper Berlin is the biggest opera house in the German capital, and a member of the Berlin Opera Foundation established in the early 1900s. The original building was destroyed during the Second World War, but was eventually replaced, and the new theater opened in 1961 - six weeks after construction began on the Berlin Wall. Serving West Berlin, its sober, linear design avoids anything that might distract vistiors from the performance. The repertoire of the theater focuses on the great classics such as Mozart, Verdi and Strauss, but frequently presents contemporary opera as well. The Chorus of the Deutsche Oper has been named 'Chorus of the Year' many times for its outstanding performances.
