Summary

"'If Berlin's opera devotees were asked to name the most thrilling, most memorable productions in any of the city's three houses during the last twenty-five years, hardly anyone would hesitate to include Götz Friedrich's 1983 Deutsche Oper staging of Erich Wolfgang Korngold's opera Die tote Stadt on the list. That production -- starring Friedrich's wife, Karan Armstrong, as Marietta and James King as Paul with breathtakingly beautiful sets by Andreas Reinhardt that captured the gloomy, morbid atmosphere of old Brügge perfectly -- is justly considered a legend.'--Opera News, 2004"--Container
