Betrothal in a Monastery
At the Staatsoper Unter den Linden Dmitri Tcherniakov stages Prokofiev�s lyrical comic opera Betrothal in a Monastery under Daniel Barenboim�s baton. The Russian director recasts the complete opera as therapeutic role play for �Opera-Addict Anonymus�. Daniel Barenboim conducts the Staatskapelle Berlin and �the uniformly excellent cast� (Financial Times), led by Aida Garifullina, Bogdan Volkov and Stephan R�gamer among others. �Musically, this performance is a celebration in every respect�, praises BR Klassik.
