In Yuval Sharons deutungsüberladener Inszenierung setzten Christian Thielemann am Pult sowie Klaus Florian Vogt als Lohengrin leuchtende Glanzpunkte.

Der konzertante Parsifal ist 2021 die einzige Vorstellung unter Leitung Christian Thielemanns. Er schaffte es, den Abend zu etwas ganz besonderen zu machen.

Hans Neuenfels' Umsetzung von Lohengrin als wissenschaftliches Experiment mit einem Chor von Ratten bietet zum Nachdenken anregende Freuden und Starbesetzung mit Klaus Florian Vogt in der Titelrolle und Petra Lang als Ortrud.

Der Ring der Bayerischen Staatsoper war gezeichnet vom Auf und Ab. Er schloss jedoch ganz oben, dank Petrenkos brillanter Leitung, einer starken Besetzung und einer unterhaltsamen Inszenierung.

Malgré les circonstances et un orchestre en effectif réduit, l'opéra de Wagner bénéficie d'une distribution de qualité dans laquelle Sophie Koch se distingue en Sieglinde.

Début de saison en demi-teinte pour l'Orchestre symphonique de Québec : Fabien Gabel se montre en très grande forme dans un programme tout Wagner où Petra Lang déçoit.

Un duo formidable et une mise en scène efficace : porté par Petra Lang et Michael Weinius, le Crépuscule des Dieux de Dieter Dorn est venu clore la tétralogie genevoise avec panache.

En point d'orgue d'une tournée hivernale, l'Orchestre Français des Jeunes investit la Philharmonie de Paris. Un concert rempli de promesses pour l'avenir de la scène symphonique française.

With a plethora of theatre seats, stools and benches it was as if Willy Decker and Wolfgang Gussman had been elected ‘Chair-men of the bored”.

The third installment of Semperoper Dresden’s Ring des Nibelungen cycle ups the ante with an outstanding ensemble performance.

Christian Thielemann and the Staatskapelle Dresden orchestra are let down by sub-optimal singers in Willy Deckers chair-laden production of  Die Walküre. 

Stefan Vinke was a convincing, petulant, pouty Siegfried in the third episode in Wagner's Ring cycle in Vienna.

Sven-Eric Bechtolf’s minimalist staging brought the protagonists’ complicated psychological interaction into focus but to the detriment of Wagner’s myth and magic.

Sir David McVicar's production of Tristan und Isolde premiered at the Wiener Staatsoper in 2013, and was then recognized as a friendly platform for singers. Here it is freshly revived with a new cast.

With its monumental sets designed by Anish Kapoor, Pierre Audi’s abstract Parsifal at Dutch National Opera is spectacular, led by the excellent Christopher Ventris, with Günther Groissböck shining in his role debut as Gurnemanz. 

With disappointing Schumann followed by engrossing, but incomplete, excerpts from Wagner's Götterdämmerung, Marek Janowski and the Oslo Philharmonic fail to make a splash.

Sometimes the star performer isn’t one of the big romantic headline roles, or even the baritone villain. In this Siegfried, the performance that left me gasping was Gerhard Siegel’s Mime.

Des chanteurs, talentueux, une mise en scène efficace, un orchestre convaincant : tels sont les ingrédients d'un succès mérité.

Wagner’s Lohengrin was the last work the master completed before settling into a mid-career six-year slump. During this compositional hiatus, he wrote the poems for his Ring operas and ruminated in print on various topics, musical and otherwise, but work on the music dramas essentially ceased.

Most of Dvořák's ten operas are rarely performed, but Rusalka, his tragic fairy tale of the water nymph who takes human form, has become popular in recent years and is a regular visitor to British opera houses. Last night's production, by directors Jossi Wieler and Sergio Morabito, started life at the 2008 Salzburg festival and has now arrived in Covent Garden.
