Summary/Abstract: The author reviews the stagings presented at the Opernfestspiele at the Bavarian National Opera (22 June – 31 July 2013). The Munich festival functions as a rival to the Wagner ceremonies in Bayreuth, which, in the jubilee year of 2013, turned into a face-off (designed in the event's program) between two great opera reformers: Giuseppe Verdi and Richard Wagner. The author of the present text saw this polemic as clearly sketched out in Rigoletto, directed by Árpád Schilling, and Simon Boccanegra, directed by Dimitri Cherniakov. Apart from these two performances, Jakubowa analyzes Macbeth, directed by Martin Kušej, George Benjamin's Written on Skin – a contemporary opera directed by Katie Mitchell, and Boris Godunov inCalixto Bieito's rendition.
