Staatsoper unter den Linden

Spanish opera and theater director Calixto Bieito makes his debut with this grand romantic opera at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden, guiding the audience through his powerful interpretation. Elsa von Brabant is accused of fratricide, but no one dares to prove her innocence in this inexplicable case. Trapped in a reality that no one shares with her, a man enters her life, promising to fight for her—on one condition: Elsa must trust him blindly and never ask his name or origin. An intrigue causes Elsa to break her promise. The truth brings her brother back and reveals his divine origin, but she pays a heavy price.
