In the Summer of 2009, the British director nigel Lowery and the Iranian choreographer Amir Hosseinpour brought to the stage of the Staatsoper Unter den Linden, with colour and full of humour, the fantastic and imaginative adventures of Racing Roland. On the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the death of Joseph Haydn, the composer's most renowned opera during his lifetime, Orlando Paladino, was performed, a heroic-comical stage piece based on Ariost's famous Italian romantic epic.
