Award-winning director Deborah Warner creates a vivid new staging of Berg's opera, starring Christian Gerhaher and conducted by Antonio Pappano. Wozzeck come...

Violence seethes beneath the surface of an impoverished community. Taunted and exploited by
his superiors, Wozzeck is driven to madness and revenge when he learns of his mistress’s
infidelity. Trapped in a brutal, and brutalising system, who can hope for dignity?
Alban Berg’s searing operatic masterpiece caused a scandal at its 1925 premiere. Suppressed
during the Nazi era, it has retained all its relevance today, telling a gripping story with monumental
musical forces. Christian Gerhaher returns to Covent Garden, starring in a vivid new staging by
award-winning director Deborah Warner (Peter Grimes, Billy Budd), conducted by Antonio
Pappano.

Wozzeck by Berg, Fri 19 May 2023, From (2023/2023), Directed by Deborah Warner,, Conductor Antonio Pappano, Royal Opera House, London, United Kingdom
