Description

Working together with the young singers of the Bavarian State Opera Studio, director Axel Ranisch has developed an unusual approach to two rarely performed works: In Pyotr Tchaikovsky's last opera "Iolanta", a blind princess searches for the reasons for her sadness and finds love. In Igor Stravinsky's neoclassical one-act buffa "Mavra", an inventive young woman has a risky idea and smuggles her lover into her mother's house disguised as a cook. With great love for his characters and an impressive sense of the relationships between them, Ranisch weaves both works into a charming coming-of-age fairy tale about family, love, insight, and self-determination.
