Following the success of his Hamlet for Washington National Opera, Thaddeus Strassberger returns in 2012 to direct and design the scenery for Nabucco. He recently directed The Marriage of Figaro and The Rape of Lucretia for Norwegian National Opera. After directing Meyerbeer's Les Huguenots at the Bard Summerscape (the first staging in New York in nearly a century) he returned for the U.S. staged premieres of Franz Schreker's Der ferne Klang and Chabrier's Le Roi Malgre Lui.
