DVD:
Giacomo Meyerbeer – Die Hugenotten

Relive the grandest of 19th century opera successes with the legendary performance from the Deutsche Oper in Berlin from 1991

„The Deutsche Oper production brings out in every detail the modern-day relevance of music theatre – here, art and conceptual thinking are perfectly matched. […] In this operatic case history, John Dew exposes all too clearly that whatever afflictions have beset us in the past continue to do so in the present.” (Berliner Zeitung)
