Get ready for the next feature in the TheatreHD Opera Club – Giuseppe Verdi's grand drama Don Carlo, in Kirill Serebrennikov's celebrated production from the Vienna State Opera, starring the truly regal Asmik Grigorian.

In a brilliant directorial move, the opera's world is reimagined within a scientific research institute dedicated to the history of costume, weaving together past and present. The characters literally step into their roles by exploring and trying on historical garments, immersing themselves in the motives of their legendary prototypes.The beloved opera star and incredible actress, Asmik Grigorian, makes her debut as Elisabeth de Valois—the very character who becomes the catalyst for the drama unfolding within the institute's walls. From the conductor's podium, Maestro Philippe Jordan, who has captivated Viennese audiences with his profound interpretation of Verdi.

The premiere of this Don Carlo at the Vienna State Opera certainly got people talking, and it's exactly this kind of thought-provoking production that the TheatreHD Opera Club adores—the kind that gives you plenty to discuss, debate, and form your own opinion about. To help us navigate this fascinating production, we will be joined by a special guest for the premiere: musicologist Natalia Surnina.
