David McVicar on Wozzeck

Alan Berg's Wozzeck has long been treated as an expressionist masterpiece, but David McVicar and the extraordinary team at the Lyric have put the opera back in its context – as a product and expression of the political chaos and despair following World War I. McVicar and Lyric’s general director, Anthony Freud provide a preview of this powerful interpretation. This program is presented in partnership with Lyric Unlimited.
