DVD + Blu-Ray:
Antikrist by Ersan Mondtag / Deutsche Oper Berlin

Rued Langgaard’s remarkable opera Antikrist spectacularly staged by Ersan Mondtag at the Deutsche Oper Berlin and conducted by Stephan Zilias.

Rued Langgaard’s remarkable opera Antikrist confronts the decline and fall of Western civilisation, critiquing modern lifestyles and ways of thinking, which resonates with our times more than ever before. Never performed in the composer’s lifetime, Antikrist blends Romantic and contemporary styles to create a score that is both seductive and opulent, while the lack of a conventional plot creates space for an ironic and sarcastic exposé of contemporary civilisation’s weaknesses. This spectacular Deutsche Oper Berlin production was acclaimed in "The New York Times" as a ‘riotously colourful, boldly stylised staging [in] a near-breathless swirl’.
