Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Chor der Oper Zürich

Gaetano Donizettis Oper muss ohne Chor auskommen und auch das Orchester ist nicht so ganz live dabei. Ein Experiment, das dennoch erstaunlich gut klingt.

The Zurich Opernhaus tackles the pandemic with an innovative strategy: instead of reducing the size of orchestra and chorus (as many other European opera houses) it removes them from the theatre altogether. 

In its revival here in Zurich, the soloists and choir of Beethoven's Fidelio give stellar vocal performances. But having done away with any real set, the opera was not without its shortcomings.

Nothing on New Year’s Eve could have been more festive than the spirited production of Rossini’s La Cenerentola that Zurich Opera staged with Cecelia Bartoli in the lead role.

A production which has Robert Wilson's signature all over it, but feels like a wagon in front of the horse.
