Sergei Prokofiev

Betrothal in a Monastery

Обручение в монастыре

At the Staatsoper Unter den Linden Dmitri Tcherniakov stages Prokofiev’s lyrical comic opera "Betrothal in a Monastery" under Daniel Barenboim’s baton. The Russian director recasts the complete opera as therapeutic role play for “Opera-Addict Anonymus”. Daniel Barenboim conducts the Staatskapelle Berlin and “the uniformly excellent cast” (Financial Times), led by Aida Garifullina, Bogdan Volkov and Stephan Rügamer among others.

"Musically, this performance is a celebration in every respect", praises BR Klassik.
