The Makropoulos Case: Paris Opera

About the Event

The Paris Opera presents Janáček's penultimate opera, The Makropoulos Case, in a production by Krzysztof Warlikowski. Susanna Mälkki conducts this electrifying work.

Warlikowski's production is haunted by the destiny of Marilyn Monroe: the eternal woman, both adulated and sacrificed on the altar of stardom and found dead after an overdose of barbiturates…
