Directed by Mariusz Treliński, this is a co-production with the Opera in Lyon. A staging which was met with enthusiasm in France, and a standing ovation in Poland.
Elżbieta Krajewska spoke to director Mariusz Treliński about his interpretation of this complicated work, which became his third production of Richard Strauss in recent months after Ariadne auf Naxos and Salome; and dramaturgist Marcin Cecko about the challenges of putting this opera on stage.
