With Die tote Stadt, The Royal Opera presents a rediscovered masterpiece in its Royal Opera House and UK premiere.  Although Erich Korngold became famous through the rich symphonic sounds of his great Hollywood film scores, his early gem of an opera from 1920 was a huge success before he went to America, yet until recently has been mostly neglected.

Making this even more of a special occasion, Ingo Metzmacher, a leading interpreter of 20th-century opera, conducts a score that is as ravishing as it is engrossing.
