Don Carlo Berlin — Giuseppe Verdi, 1867
Verdi's Don Carlo, after Schiller, is a nearly four-hour grand opera about the claustrophobic Spanish court of Philip II. The Infante Don Carlo loves his young stepmother Elisabeth of Valois. The King loves no one and trusts less. The Grand Inquisitor walks in at the start of Act IV and terrifies everyone.
Why this production at the Staatsoper Berlin
Philipp Himmelmann's production at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden treats the piece as the claustrophobic psychological drama Verdi intended. The four-act Italian version — Verdi's preferred form — is what Berlin stages.
What to expect in Berlin
A long, demanding evening that rewards patience: six leading roles, each written to kill, and a score that turns from grand-opera spectacle to chamber-intimate duet without warning. 'Ella giammai m'amò' in Act IV is one of the great bass monologues of all time.
