Berg's Wozzeck
Antonio Pappano conducts a new Royal Opera production of Berg's disturbing masterpiece Wozzeck, in which a victimised and downtrodden soldier is driven to madness and murder.
From the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, Antonio Pappano conducts a new production of Berg's disturbing masterpiece in which a victimised and downtrodden soldier is driven to madness and murder. Christian Gerhaher stars as the tortured anti-hero Wozzeck and Anja Kampe his doomed wife Marie. Martin Handley presents, and is joined in the box by writer and broadcaster Gillian Moore to discuss Berg's score, and whether it still has the power to shock now like it did at its premiere in 1925.
