This has been the dilemma of many opera directors who in the twentieth century changed their approach and often produced shocking performances for the public. The question remains open to the creators of the 21st century, the world of opera receiving more and more versions of shows that challenges the public with provocative solutions.

Keywords: Regietheater, Opera, modern stages, 20th century.
