Die tote Stadt (2018)
Following the death of his young wife, a widower has isolated himself from the outside world. He lives solely for her memory, until one day he encounters a dancer who looks remarkably familiar. Working together with the General Music Director Ainārs Rubiķis, Canadian star director Robert Carsen stages his production at the Komische Oper Berlin with Korngold’s musical psycho-thriller, one of the greatest hits of the 1920s.
