For their perfection of composition and link with important literary works, Alban Berg’s operas Wozzeck and Lulu – the latter left unfinished at the composer’s death – must rank among the most outstanding music theatre pieces of the 20th century. This production of renowned theatre and opera director Adolf Dresen stars the German baritone Franz Grundheber as Wozzeck and the legendary soprano Hildegard Behrens as Marie. And last but not least this terrific opera features one of the greatest conductors of our time at the podium: Claudio Abbado.
