Pfitzner: Palestrina (2009)

NR | Jul 14, 2009 (DE) | Music, Comedy, Drama | 03:17

Requiring 38 soloists, chorus, and large orchestra, Hans Pfitzner's "Palestrina" is a challenging opera to stage. In Munich, the city in which it was premiered in 1917, director Christian Stückle, conductor Simone Young, and the Bavarian State Opera met those challenges with stunning success.
