The National Theatre

Senior cycle II

The second group will kick off with one of the most beloved operas of the 20th century, Strauss's "Der Rosenkavalier," presented in Andreas Homoki's staging from the Berlin Komische Oper. You'll also appreciate the performances of soloists and intricate direction in the ballet adaptation of "A Streetcar Named Desire." The sensitive Blanche reminisces about her unfulfilled dreams and desires for kindred spirits in Verdi's "Otello," followed by Smetana's "The Secret" directed by Ondřej Havelka. We ask whether piles of gold are truly the treasure we can find in life.
