The Hungarian film and theater director Kornél Mundruczó, whose productions are shown at the world's most important festivals and stages, has also been working in the field of opera for several years. His production of The Makropulos Case (2016) at the Vlaamse Opera was nominated for the International Opera Awards, and last year he premiered Peter Eötvös' opera Sleeplessat the Berlin State Opera Unter den Linden. He is also the founder and director of the independent theater company Proton Theater. With his team (including stage designer Monika Pormale and costume designer Ania Axer) he is now making his debut at the Bavarian State Opera. For the first time in an opera production at this house, the musical director is the conductor François-Xavier Roth, who is known for historically informed performance practice as well as for unusual program combinations and is regularly invited by top orchestras. Klaus Florian Vogt sings the title role, Marlis Petersen will be seen as Elsa for the first time.
