Die Nase

Restless social satire about a lost body part When college professor Platon Kuzmich Kovalev wakes up one morning, something is different. Looking in the mirror, he notices that he no longer has a nose. It seems to be wandering around, which soon has the entire town in an uproar. 'The Nose' is a biting satire about the hysterization of a society. The music by 22-year-old Dmitri Shostakovich is exuberant, rich in ideas and full of grotesque humor. After his production of Richard Strauss' 'Intermezzo', director Herbert Fritsch once again devotes himself to an opera of the experimental 1920s/1930s.
