Staatsoper Berlin
Falstaff at Staatsoper Berlin
Berlin’s queer aesthetics, stripped of queerness—a glossy appropriation where underground culture becomes set dressing for straight comfort.
Giuseppe Verdi
Deutsche Oper Berlin
Don Carlo at Deutsche Oper Berlin
A meditation on individual agency and love, caught and ground down between the machinery of faith and the weight of worldly power.
Deutsche Oper Berlin
Les Vêpres Siciliennes at Deutsche Oper Berlin
Olivier Py’s production grapples with Empire and violence, but its chaotic staging at times drowns out Verdi’s emotional and musical clarity.

Aida at Deutsche Oper Berlin
A haunting, immersive Aida where memory eclipses reality and love unravels in silence—Verdi reimagined as an intimate, fractured contemporary drama.
Deutsche Oper Berlin
Nabucco at Deutsche Oper Berlin

Deutsche Oper Berlin
Macbeth at Deutsche Oper Berlin
The production doesn’t shy away from brutality in its portrayal of the Macbeths’ relentless climb to power: the violence is disturbingly visceral.
Staatsballett Berlin
Messa da Requiem by Staatsballett Berlin
A cohesive bundling of singers and dancers, groups and soloists, into a uniform body where all participants seem to engage at eye level with little discernible hierarchy.
