739507

Praise for the Bayerische Staatsoper's new Ballo in maschera: A formidable vocal feast (Bayerische Staatszeitung). Ten years after stepping down as music director of the Bavarian State Opera, a grand Zubin Mehta (Bayerischer Rundfunk) returned to Munich in March 2016 to celebrate his 80th birthday conducting Verdis masterpiece for the first time in a staged production. His cast features some of todays finest Verdi singers: soprano Anja Harteros, singing Amelia for the first time and filling every note with Verdian intensity, tenor Piotr Beczala as a visually and vocally dashing Riccardo and George Petean as an exemplary Renato (Neue Musikzeitung). In director Johannes Eraths musically super-sensitive new production, this historically-based tale of illicit love, conspiracy and betrayal unfolds in a surrealistic, shadowy setting transformed by lighting and projections.
