Music Director Vladimir Jurowski conducts, and Simon Stone directs. Barrie Kosky's productions of Der Rosenkavalierand Die schweigsame Frau complete the Strauss focus.Ī startlingly topical work will be seen for the first time in Munich as the opening premiere of the Opera Festival: Krzysztof Penderecki's opera The Devils of Loudun is about religious fanaticism, a priest's debauchery and an exorcism in the early 17th century. Conductor Lothar Koenigs will be on the podium. David Marton's production features Diana Damrau as the Countess and Michael Nagy as the Count. Strauss' last opera Capriccio, premiered at the National Theater in 1942, is on the program as a Festival premiere. The first opera festival under Serge Dorny's directorship will focus on three great works by Richard Strauss that reflect on the art form of opera itself and on time, music's very own medium.
