Last night, the Staatsoper audience was exposed for the first time to the new safety curtain.

This is the 18th change of safety curtain. The new drape is by a  French artist, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster.

Beyond the curtain, James Conlon made his belated conducting debut in the house, in Khovantschina.
