Today, the Vienna Opera is practically the ideal of an opera house, tickets are sold out months in advance, and the cast of soloists is capable of evoking a sigh of admiration from fans and envy from competitors: Elina Garanca, Asmik Grigoryan, Anna Netrebko, Jonas Kaufmann, Juan Diego Flores, Sonya Yoncheva, Ludovic Tézier – it is difficult to find a world-class star who did not sing in Vienna yesterday or is not going to sing tomorrow. After all, any performance at the Vienna Opera is something that will be talked about throughout the season, and which other theaters will be equal to.

Bruegel? Hogsmeade?... Bregenz!

We will see the devil riding a skeleton horse, a fire-breathing dragon, mermaids, swamp evil spirits; wolves howl, the clock spins backwards, and the full moon is about to fall to the ground.

Adult life of a young man

A warm, lamp-like, well-old-fashioned portrait, where the classics are played by our great contemporary.

Jiří Kylián. Favourites

Jiri Kylian is one of the most important names in the world of dance of the XX-XXI centuries.

A master of plotless works, he nevertheless knows how to work with both narrative stories and purely illustrative tasks.
