Max Hoehn's production, with stage designs by Darko Petrovic, draws on visual worlds of 20th-century German media culture and focuses on themes such as power, identity, and illusion.

Oakes, a distinguished Wagner interpreter, was most recently seen as Brünnhilde at the Deutsche Oper am Rhein and will be on stage as Isolde at the Hamburg State Opera this summer.

Under the musical direction of Graeme Jenkins, the production premieres on April 23; another performance follows on April 25.
