Summary
  1. "The famous Berg opera, newly revised in a special shortened version by David Robert Coleman and Andrea Breth. An exquisite cast, led by Mojca Erdmann in her debut as Lulu. Also Barenboim's first engagement as conductor of Lulu. The Staatsoper Orchestra Staatskapelle Berlin in their temporary new home, the Schillertheater. "Mojca Erdmann, the immensely talented soprano (capable) of stratospheric heights" (Die Zeit). "Barenboim conducts with lucid romanticism. His Berg sounds as self-evident as Schubert, unfolding with it's own lush, bittersweet logic as the evening wears on... Mojca Erdmann is an ethereal, feather-light Lulu." http://www.heartlandmusic.com
