The end of Dominik Köninger’s time at the Komische Oper Berlin draws near, but there are several musical morsels ahead, as Köninger is cast in two Barrie Kosky-productions that are reprised in April: as Agamemnon in Offenbach’s “La belle Hélène” and as Orfeo in Monteverdi’s eponymous opera.
On Sunday, April 24th, he returns to London’s Wigmore Hall to present a recital of works by Korngold, Schönberg, and Schumann; the programme, “Schöne Fremde” will be accompanied by pianist Daniel Heide.
