The Israeli Opera is proud to announce that it has been invited to perform at the 2012 Wiesbaden May Festival.
The Israeli Opera will present two productions in Wiesbaden: The Child Dreams by Gil Shohat after a play by Hanoch Levin, which was commissioned by and premiered at the Israeli Opera in 2010, directed by Omri Nitzan and designed by Gottfried Helenwein. The second production to be performed in Wiesbaden is Tosca, directed and designed by Hugo de Ana. Israeli Opera music director, David Stern, will conduct both productions.
