Keith Warner's directorial debut at the Royal Opera House, this staging of Wozzeck received an Olivier Award in 2003 for Best New Opera Production. Returning over a decade later, the production probes the psychological depths of Berg's 20th-century operatic masterpiece. British bariton Simon Keenlyside sings the title role of Wozzeck, a poor soldier who tries to support his girlfriend Marie, played by Finnish soprano Karita Mattila. When the brutal Drum Major (German tenor Endrik Wottrich) seduces Marie, the consequences are violent and terrifying.
About Royal Opera House
This impressive building in the heart of Covent Garden has been playing host to major stars of the classical music world since 1858. The third theatre to be located on this site, today's Royal Opera House is the result of a reconstruction in the 1990s (although the main auditorium is part of the original building).
