Die Verurteilung des Lukullus (The Condemnation of Lucullus) is an opera by Paul Dessau to a libretto by the German dramatist Bertolt Brecht.
Brecht's dramatic text for the opera is more or less identical to that of the radio-play The Trial of Lucullus, which was written in 1938–9.
The opera was first performed under the latter's title at the Berlin Staatsoper on 17 March 1951, conducted by Hermann Scherchen, with stage design by Caspar Neher.
[1] In November 2021, the Staatsoper Stuttgart mounted a new production of the opera, directed by Franziska Kronfoth and Julia Lwowski and staged by the musical-theater-collective Hauen und Stechen.
The performances were conducted by contemporary music specialist Bernhard Kontarsky and featured tenor Gerhard Siegel as Lukullus and soprano/mezzo-soprano Cheryl Studer as Tertullia.
