Wiener Staatsoper

Today, the Vienna Opera is practically the ideal of an opera house, tickets are sold out months in advance, and the cast of soloists is capable of evoking a sigh of admiration from fans and envy from competitors: Elina Garanca, Asmik Grigoryan, Anna Netrebko, Jonas Kaufmann, Juan Diego Flores, Sonya Yoncheva, Ludovic Tézier – it is difficult to find a world-class star who did not sing in Vienna yesterday or is not going to sing tomorrow. After all, any performance at the Vienna Opera is something that will be talked about throughout the season, and which other theaters will be equal to.

Adult life of a young man
