Grandiose joie de vivre comes together with a quest for meaning—Giuseppe Verdi’s last masterpiece, written when he was nearly 80, not only breathed new life into the genre of Italian opera-comedy, but spontaneously revolutionised the genre and brought it into the 20th century. Exceptional baritone and »stage animal« Scott Hendricks returns to the Komische Oper Berlin in the title role, while audience favourite Günter Papendell makes his debut as the aggrieved husband, Ford.

To the Royal Throne, then to Hell and back, please!—Jaromír Weinberger's Schwanda, the Bagpiper, which premiered in Prague in 1927, was a sensational success, performed thousands of times across Europe and the USA until 1933.

In the cast are Baritone Daniel Schmutzhard as the Bohemian mood cannon and Kiandra Howarth as the eternally beloved Dorotka.
