Einführungsmatinee: Lady Macbeth Von Mzensk – Staatsoper Stuttgart, Stuttgart

About this event

This introduction matinee is a public pre-premiere talk for Staatsoper Stuttgart’s new production of Dmitri Shostakovich’s Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk. Held four weeks before the premiere (scheduled for 8 November 2026), a moderated panel with the directing team and the conductor offers insight into the work, the staging concept, and the musical approach. Part of the house’s audience engagement program, the event allows audiences to explore the creative decisions and thematic focus of the production in advance. The matinee takes place in the Foyer I. Rang of the opera house and lasts about 90 minutes. It is presented within the 2026/27 season under General Music Director Nicholas Carter and is promoted with the hashtag #StgtLadyMacbeth.
