ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
Quote by ROH:
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.
