Damiano Michieletto, 47, is making his debut with Verdi's "Aida" at the Bavarian State Opera. The premiere is on 15 May.
Michieleto: "I avoid delivering an intellectually convoluted production that cannot be understood without a 20-page explanation" "Our production is not set in ancient Egypt, but in the present: in a place destroyed by war, which evokes wistful memories of the time when people came together here to play and have fun"
