The Dead City

A sensation success of the 20th century: With Die tote Stadt, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, alongside Richard Strauss, became the most frequently performed opera composer in Germany in the 1920s. Director David Bösch tells the story of a journey into the self, where dreams and reality blur. Korngold's music brings the psychological drama to full expression; his compositional style is unmistakably narrative and emotional.
