Munich is Germany’s second most visited city after Berlin. The Bavarian city is splendid, with its well-preserved historic centre, sumptuous royal palaces and voluptuous lifestyle. In summer, Munich displays all its charms: visit the marvellous Nymphenburg Castle, the admirable collections in the art galleries and stroll through the immense and magnificent English Garden. And if the weather is mild, why not indulge in a local beer in one of the pleasant beer gardens dotted around the city?

 

The Bavarian State Opera is one of the finest opera houses in the world. More than ever, the Munich institution attracts the best singers and conductors, as this exceptional evening of Cavalleria rusticana/Pagliacci proves once again. For these two absolute masterpieces of verismo opera, the vocal cast includes two stars: Ivan Gyngazov for the first, and Jonas Kaufmann (the local boy) for the second. Under the baton of the excellent Italian conductor Daniele Rustioni, their acolytes Wolfgang Koch and Ailyn Pérez promise an evening rich in spectacle and thrills.

Cavalleria rusticana/Pagliacci will transport you to Italy at the beginning of the 20th century. This new production (the first for the duo in 46 years at the Bavarian State Opera!) has been entrusted to Francesco Micheli, one of the great Italian directors of our time. Although the operas by Leoncavallo and Mascagni are two completely different works, their thematic, temporal and stylistic similarities offer the possibility of being linked to each other. Micheli’s proposal promises to be fascinating. In the vocal cast, Leoncavallo’s opera is not sacrificed to Mascagni’s, since the former features the formidable tenor Ivan Gyngazov, and the latter the celebrated Jonas Kaufmann, who, although not of Italian origin like Grigolo, has shown just how comfortable he is in the transalpine repertoire. If Aylin Pérez and Yulia Matochkina are appreciated in the main female roles, the legendary Wolfgang Koch creates a delightful link by singing in both works. In the pit, conductor Daniele Rustioni has all the Italianità needed to set the stage alight.
