In Bellini's Norma, the priestess Norma calls for peace against Roman occupiers, while internally battling her broken vows as a secret lover and mother. Her lover, Pollione, and the novice Adalgisa mirror her double life. Amidst war and Roman dominance, secrets escalate into a drama of life, death, and love. Bellini's 1831 bel canto opera showcases these conflicts through dramatic choruses, rituals, and exceptional vocal performances, exploring themes of war and peace, love and duty.

"Das Rheingold" sets the stage for Wagner's tetralogy, exploring love versus power. Alberich steals the Rhinegold, Wotan builds Valhalla, and a chain of events unfolds, marked by Alberich's curse and Fafner's fratricide. The Leipzig Opera's 2013 production, conducted by Ulf Schirmer, highlighted the comedic aspects of this shortest "Ring" opera.
"Der junge Siegfried" (originally titled "The Young Siegfried") tells of Siegfried, son of Siegmund and Sieglinde, raised by the malicious Mime after his parents' deaths. This coming-of-age story sees Siegfried rebelling against Mime, who plans to use him to seize the Nibelung hoard from Fafner. Siegfried, fearless, forges a sword, slays Fafner, claims the hoard, and kills Mime. He defies Wotan, and, upon reaching Brünnhilde, forgets his mission for love. This "scherzo" blends fairytale and comedy while showcasing nature's power.

Weber's 1817 opera "Der Freischütz" tells the story of Max, a hunter whose future depends on a shooting trial.

The opera explores themes of societal pressures, fear of failure, and the battle between good and evil in a world where the characters' beliefs shape their actions. Weber's music captures the anxieties of a generation, making "Der Freischütz" a landmark work of German Romantic opera.

Premiered in 1905, "Salome" marked the beginning of Richard Strauss' great opera successes. Based on Oscar Wilde's sensational tragedy, he composed a music drama of unleashed passion, whose global success even censorship couldn't stop. Strauss transformed this scandalous story, based on the New Testament, into a musical portrait of the unconscious, exploring sensuality versus asceticism, intoxication versus loneliness, power versus eros. Salome, a Judean princess, desires the imprisoned prophet Jochanaan. Rejected, she uses her charms to obtain his severed head. Her final monologue, a dialogue with the head, is an ecstatic and tragic love song. Strauss masterfully portrays desire and revenge through innovative sounds, capturing Salome's erotic dance and Jochanaan's pathos.
