Luisa Miller (1849) was first staged in the Teatro San Carlo in Naples. While the works created by Verdi before this particular piece were regarded as much simpler, at least from the point of view of the emotions and motivation of their central characters, the composer’s further opus reveals his determination to build entirely new and more complex world. 

Returning to our theatre after quite a few years will be a renowned stage director Lutz Hochstraate who has staged in Ljubljana La traviata that is still »living« on our stage. This time our conductor's podium will be reserved for the Czech conductor David Švec.
