Name: Berg: Lulu
Genre: Music
Released: 2010-06-01
Duration: 3 h 25 min
Cast: Agneta Eichenholz, Will Hartmann, Gwynne Howell

This production avoids the sensationalism and vulgarity of some of the others I've seen. It's stripped down: a bare wall behind the singers, a chair when it's needed, few costume changes. So we are concentrating on the music, and Antonio Pappano's conducting is very rich and satisfying; you get the feeling of legato even when there is none strictly speaking. Agneta Eichenholz and Jennifer Larmore make a great pair as Lulu and Geschwitz, and Michael Volle is even better as Schon than he was in Salzburg in 2010. Eichenholz has a rapport with the viewer that I haven't seen in the other Lulus; that sly smile and the hysteria kept under control except at the brutal climax. I can recommend this Royal Opera production.

German cinema is famous for its historical depth, expressionist aesthetics, and social-political engagement. It has moved from Expressionism to political reckoning, from New German Cinema's raw realism to contemporary genre experiments. Its legacy lies in both technical innovation and deep explorations of history, morality, and philosophy.

The music genre features stories showcasing musical performances, music-related documentaries and recordings of live concerts and music festivals.
