Conductor extraordinaire Charles Dutoit returns to lead the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra in a monumental China premiere: Alban Berg's harrowing and groundbreaking opera, Wozzeck. This is a major event for opera and classical music aficionados, featuring a stellar international cast in a powerful concert version.

This concert version presents the full, devastating power of Berg's music in a 90-minute, through-committed performance without an interval. A seminal work of the 20th century, Wozzeck is a profoundly moving and intense psychological drama, brought to life through its complex and breathtaking score.

This is a rare and significant opportunity to experience one of opera's most important modern works performed at the highest level.
