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.
