At 7:00 p.m., at the Nationaltheater:

MACBETH, by G. Verdi

Orchestra and choir of the Bayerische Staatsoper
Marco Armiliato	Conductor
Martin Kušej	Director

Ludovic Tézier	Macbeth
Christian Van Horn	Banquo
Anastasia Bartoli	Lady Macbeth
Mirjam Mesak	Lady Macbeth’s Lady
Granit Musliu	Macduff
Martin Snell	A doctor
Christian Rieger	A servant of Macbeth
Christian Rieger	A henchman
Michael Butler	Malcolm

When it premiered in 2008, Martin Kusej’s staging shocked with its violence and expressionist images. Since then, this avant-garde show has become one of the classics of Bavarian opera, as its dramaturgy marries the supernatural dimension of Verdi’s inspiration. Here the Macbeths are indeed the dangerous usurpers of the throne of Scotland in Shakespeare’s play, except that the whole of reality here is adorned with strangeness. As Macbeth, Ludovic Tézier has shown that he is the greatest Verdi singer of our time, while as Lady Macbeth, Anastasia Bartoli (no relation to the Roman mezzo) will appear to some as a lyrical revelation. With her declamatory sense, singing technique and powerful breath, the Florentine soprano burns the stage in this role. Marco Armiliato is the ideal conductor to deploy the very particular musicality of Verdi’s writing.

SATURDAY 3 JULY 2027

Breakfast at your hotel.

Day and meals on your own.

At 7:00 p.m., at the Nationaltheater:

QUEEN OF SPADES, by I. Tchaikovsky

Orchestra, choir and children’s choir of the Bayerische Staatsoper
Dima Slobodeniouk	Conductor
Benedict Andrews	Director

Asmik Grigorian	Lisa
Ivan Gyngazov	Hermann
Vladislav Sulimsky	Count Tomski
Andrei Zhilikhovsky	The Prince Yeletski
Alexander Fedorov	Tchekalinski
Roman Chabaranok	Sourine
Tansel Akzeybek	Tchaplitski
Paweł Horodyski	Naroumov
Shawn Roth	The master of ceremonies
Elena Zaremba	The Countess
Victoria Karkacheva	Pauline
Freya Apffelstaedt	The governess
Martina Myskohlid	Macha, Lisa’s servant

The Queen of Spades is Tchaikovsky’s penultimate opera and one of his supreme successes. Based on Pushkin’s novel namesake, the book tells the story of Hermann, a German officer fascinated by gambling who uses the young Lisa to get in touch with a wealthy Countess. In this masterpiece, the fantastic arises with the appearance of playing cards, triggering the tragic fate of the protagonists. Received by the press, the direction by the Australian Benedict Andrews plays the codes of black film and deploys a cinematographic scale. As Hermann, the Russian Ivan Gyngazov is absolutely idiomatic, while Asmik Gregorian as Lisa brings a dramatic thrill. Light of timbre, splendour of vocal conduct, incandescent stage temperament, the Lithuanian soprano is a lyrical phenomenon like only one per generation. Speechless!

SUNDAY 4 JULY 2027

Breakfast at your hotel.

Day and meals on your own.

At 4:00 p.m., at the Nationaltheater:

GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG, by R. Wagner

Orchestra and choir of the Bayerische Staatsoper
Vladimir Jurowski	Conductor
Tobias Kratzer	Director

Benjamin Bruns	Siegfried
Alexander Grassauer	Gunther
Sam Carl	Hagen
Georg Nigl	Alberich
Miina-Liisa Värelä	Brünnhilde
Magdalena Hinterdobler	Gutrune
Sarah Brady	Woglinde
Verity Wingate	Welgunde
Yajie Zhang	Flosshilde
Claudia Mahnke	Waltraute
Noa Beinart	First Norn
Szilvia Vörös	Second Norn

All opera houses want to create their own Ring, but few succeed in their Wagnerian cycle. With Tobias Kratzer (who is also director in Hamburg), the Munich Opera seems to have achieved the unexpected squaring of the cycle. From the first part of Das Rheingold, the international press had praised the extreme intelligence and plastic beauty of the staging. Here the quality of the actor’s work is combined with a polysemic theatrical richness of the best quality. The apotheosis of the Ring cycle, Götterdämmerung is now the great Wagnerian event of the season. There is no doubt that Kratzer retains his extraordinary inspiration, especially since he keeps his partner in the pit, the prodigious conductor and music director of the Munich Opera Vladimir Jurowski. The vocal team composed by Benjamin Bruns, Georg Nigl and Miina-Liisa Värelä called on the most Wagnerian singers.
