Carmen
"Toréador, en garde!" Captivating rhythms, ravishing melodies. Two machos and a powerful woman: Carmen – plus all the torrid heat of Spain. Just the right blend for passion and death. "A work of shocking immorality!" wrote one disgruntled critic after the world première. He was right – and there's nothing wrong with that. Bizet's masterwork continues to captivate.

Der fliegende Holländer
Wagner's gripping early work: a psycho-thriller of operatic literature. Peter Konwitschny has already provoked audiences to delight and disgust with his spectacular
Parsifal and
Tristan und Isolde productions. This Munich
Holländer is something you just "have" to see. A sea and see journey on the waves of the orchestra.

Un ballo in maschera
Frightfully tragic: there is no cure-all for lovesickness, as Amelia discovers when she seeks out the sorceress Ulrica in hopes of finding an herb to heal her love for the king. Even more tragic: a regicide during a masquerade ball. This brilliant tale of intertwining complications reveals Verdi at his best – "È scherzo od è follia!" "It's a joke, or it's madness!"

Orlando
The great conflict: fame, success - or selfless love? Orlando's difficult decision process, which literally robs him of his sanity - a musical and visual orgy of sensuality. The last Händel première in the
Sir Peter Jonas era is in the hands of the dream team of Munich's baroque productions -
David Alden (stage director) and
Ivor Bolton (conductor).
