Opera Matinee
Opera Matinee presents Wozzeck. Berg's drama from 1922, set in 15 short scenes, is a powerful and brutal story of a destitute soldier's suffering, undoing and death, and depicts the everyday lives of soldiers and townspeople of a rural German-speaking town. Christian Gerhaher sings the title role, conducted by Sir Antonio Pappano, in this production of Royal Opera House in London.
