Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for most people.
The mood
Easygoing.

Unhurried and epic, at 2 hr 35 min.
What might put you off
  • It's long: 2 hr 35 min.
  • Made in 1965: an older pace and style.

The production by Deutsche Oper Berlin achieves a beautiful balance between the stage drama and the music. It proves that there are still singers who can perform Verdi's melodies at the highest level and that it is also possible to bring them together into an ensemble. The production fulfills all one's expectations of the modern city of Berlin in terms of stylishness and performance.
