Youn, known for his interpretations of Verdi and Wagner, is regularly praised for his powerful voice and exceptional stage presence. In this production, too, he impresses as a commanding, sonically assured authority in the dramatic action.

Under the musical direction of Marco Armiliato, Peter Stein's proven production will continue with further performances on April 19, 21 and 24.
