World-renowned conductor James Conlon continues the critically lauded, groundbreaking Recovered Voices series with the first-ever production in the Western hemisphere of any opera of Franz Schreker. The New Yorker commented that the work "vacillates between melodies of Mediterranean grace and textures of otherworldly complexity...One scene melts into another with cinematic ease."

This rapturously evocative late-Romantic tragedy features a stellar cast. Anja Kampe, who appeared at LA Opera to critical acclaim in Fidelio and last season in Il Tabarro and as Sieglinde opposite Plácido Domingo in Die Walküre, takes the part of the work's main love interest, Carlotta. Robert Brubaker makes his LA Opera debut as the tortured Alviano. The New York Times justly singled out his performance of that role as "affecting and sympathetic" in the Salzburg Festival performance of Die Gezeichneten. Returning LA Opera favorites are James Johnson (The Dwarf and The Birds), and Martin Gantner (Tannhäuser).
