Die Frau ohne Schatten is a feminist thriller you don't want to miss! | Dutch National Opera

A woman without a shadow. A desire that puts everything at stake. In Die Frau ohne Schatten, director Katie Mitchell sets the tone with an opera that feels like a feminist film thriller: rich in symbolism, tension, and moral dilemmas.
