Berg: Lulu

Description

William Kentridge stages Berg's shocking masterpiece about a sexually irresistible young woman whose wanton behavior causes destruction for those who fall under her spell. James Levine conducts the opera, which he has led 30 Met performances of the work, including the company premiere in 1977. Marlis Petersen performs title role, with Susan Graham as the Countess Geschwitz, and Daniel Brenna, Paul Groves, John Reuter, and Franz Grundheber among the men who fall victim to her charms.
