ABOUT THE PRODUCTION

The former consul Angelotti has escaped from captivity. In the church of Sant'Andrea della Valle, he meets the painter Mario Cavaradossi, who helps him.

But the chief of police, Scarpia, manages to track Cavaradossi down: He is to be executed. To save him, Scarpia demands physical devotion from Tosca, Cavaradossi's beloved. She agrees, receives the promise of a mock execution - and murders Scarpia. However, he has betrayed her and Cavaradossi is actually shot. For Tosca, life has become meaningless and she throws herself off Castel Sant'Angelo.

ABOUT THE PRODUCTION

Following on from his celebrated revival of lesser-known gems of early-20th-century opera, which culminated in Ottorino Respighi’s LA FIAMMA in the autumn of 2024, Christof Loy now brings FEDORA, a jewel of Italian verismo, to the stage of the Deutsche Oper Berlin. The multi-award-winning director, who only last year added another International Opera Award to his list of accolades, lays bare the eponymous character in all her multi-faceted ambiguity, coaxing masterly performances from his singers and presenting a complex interplay of relationships, assisted by the work of set and costumes designer Herbert Murauer. Having garnered glowing notices in Stockholm and Frankfurt, FEDORA has now arrived in Berlin.

ABOUT THE PRODUCTION

In his futile search for the meaning of life, the aging scholar Faust enters into a bargain with the devil: Méphistophélès buys his soul and promises him eternal youth and love. Faust falls in love with Marguerite but soon leaves her. After she kills their child, Marguerite descends into madness, but emerges from her encounter with Faust as the morally superior.

Of the numerous musical settings of the most famous subject in German literary history, the opera by the Frenchman Charles Gounod is probably the best known. In the 19th century, French opera developed a great fondness for German subjects, but often took a very free approach to adapting them into librettos. Indeed, the successful French librettist duo Michel Carré and Jules Barbier – authors of the text for Les Contes d'Hoffmann – transformed the original into a highly effective opera with a distinctive dramatic use of contrasts: drinking scenes are juxtaposed with intimate ballads, soldiers' choirs with supplications in church services. Thanks not least to its timeless arias, Gounod's Faust has become the most successful French opera after Georges Bizet's Carmen .
