Together with the chorus, children's chorus and orchestra of the Deutsche Oper Berlin, top-class interpreters - including Saioa Hernández, Misha Kiria, Maria Kataeva, SeokJong Baek and Nils Wanderer - under the musical direction of Andrea Sanguineti will offer versatile and moving insights into the world of opera.
