Next season at Unter den Linden, the first with Christian Thielemann as Daniel Barenboim’s successor, opens with Verdi’s Nabucco.
It’s a new production by Emma Dante, opening on October 2.
The cast is headed by Anna Netrebko who is making considerable efforts to recover her pre-Ukraine paramountcy in German houses. Berlin is seen as the gateway to her second chance. Nabucco is a role she has sung many times. Thielemann has long been her supporter.
The Staatsoper are not making a great fuss about her presence. Expect ructions closer to the time.
