What looks to be a very provocative production of Die Frau ohne Schatten (directed by Krzysztof Warlikowski) is the next STAATSOPER.TV presentation from the Bayerische Staatsoper. And judging by the trailer (after the jump) the musical side of the project is in firm hands as well, thanks to conductor Kirill Petrenko. The live webcast (December 1 at noon New York time) will naturally be accompanied here by a chat session at La Casa della Cieca.
