'How can I not get enraged?' Russian opera director on war and exile

"Everything is different when you do it in person," the celebrated Russian stage and screen director said in an interview before the first performance of Der Freischütz.

For Serebrennikov, one of Russia's most prominent cultural figures, it was the first time in more than four years he had been able to attend the premiere of an opera that he had directed.

Beginning in August 2017, he spent nearly two years under house arrest in Moscow and was later convicted of embezzling 133m roubles (about £1.7m) in a case that many have called politically motivated and part of a wider crackdown on artistic freedom. The high-profile case resulted in a suspended sentence in June 2020 and an 18-month travel ban.
