Die Teufel von Loudun -  (The Devils of Loudun)

Munich

Germany

Nationaltheater

Krzysztof Penderecki 's The Devils of Loudun premieres on Monday, June 27, 2022 at 7 p.m., opening this year's Munich Opera Festival. Wolfgang Koch, who was supposed to sing the role of Grandier, unfortunately has to cancel the premiere due to illness.

The opera The  Devils of Loudun has rarely been performed in recent years, which has made the selection of singers who have already worked the role in their repertoire extremely complicated. We have now found a very unusual solution. Robert Dölle, from the Residenztheater ensemble, will stage the role and Jordan Shanahan sings the role from the side.

We thank both artists for their spontaneity and wish Wolfgang Koch a speedy recovery.
