Lyric Opera 2022-2023 Issue 4- Don Carlos
Don Carlos (Oper Frankfurt) Acknowledged by audiences and critics alike as one of the most magni cent achievements in the history of opera, Don Carlos masterfully reveals the private turmoil of very public personalities.

The drama unfolds and washes over you with unforgettable intensity and thrilling musical splendor. The full stature of this epic opera will be on grand display when performed in the full ve acts, with the matchless eloquence of the opera’s original French text. Don Carlos is a tour-de- force experience for those who love Verdi in his prime. Monika Rittershaus/Oper Frankfurt
