Berlin is constantly reinventing itself but jealously maintains its secrets. At the Neues Museum, the famous bust of Nefertiti, discovered in 1912, continues to exert its 1000 years old spell on anyone who meets its gaze. The Gemäldegalerie silently unfolds 5 centuries of European painting, from the Flemish primitives to the great Italian masters. Charlottenburg Palace, in its gilded salons, reveals all the baroque excess of the Prussian court. And when night falls on the wide avenues of Prenzlauer Berg, with its early 20th century facades barely touched by time, we understand that Berlin has not finished surprising us.

 

For our stay, the Berlin Staatsoper takes us into two radically different eras. In Paris during the Belle Époque, Puccini’s La Bohème is performed by the formidable soprano Elsa Dreisig. The next day we head to Babylon in the 6th century BC, where Verdi transports us in his famous Nabucco. Hailed by the international press, Emma Dante’s direction features 2 operas: Luca Salsi and Anna Netrebko. Unforgettable!

Mimì and Rodolfo are in love in early 20th century in Paris. We always leave a performance of La Bohème with a broken heart and tears in our eyes. Lindy Hume’s direction uses the full emotional potential of Puccini’s music while carefully recreating the Belle Époque. In the pit, the Croatian conductor Ivan Repušić (regular on the Berlin scene) channels this sublime flow of passions by delivering a spectacular and invigorating performance. In the title roles, we can count on the excellent on the Italian Riccardo Massi as Rodolfo (who was a professional stuntman, specializing in martial arts, before his career in opera) and on Elsa Dreisig as Mimì, a Franco-Danish soprano with a fiery stage temperament.

High Priest of Baal

 

Nabucco marks a major milestone in Verdi’s career. Created at La Scala in 1842, it was the first major success of the Italian composer. Set in biblical times in Jerusalem and Babylon, Nabucco deals with the fate of two peoples and cultures, but also with the madness of power. While favoring a timeless vision of the work, the Sicilian Emma Dante (one of the great names of European theatre) launches some contemporary echoes in her direction, while delivering admirable visual tableaux. In Nabucco, Amartuvshin Enkhbat promises a blend of strength and tenderness, while Anna Netrebko finds in Abigaille a role that matches her exceptional voice. As always at the Berlin Staatsoper, the supporting roles of the evening are of supreme quality.

 

Duration: about 2 hours 40 minutes, including intermission
