Karaokeparty de luxe: L'elisir d'amore in Zürich

Von Isabella Steppan, 25. Oktober 2020

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

Hitting the rocks: Damiano Michieletto's Guillaume Tell at Covent Garden

Von David Karlin, 29. Juni 2015

Sadly, Damiano Michieletto and Antonio Pappano's production is more likely to be remembered for its failings – the awful rape scene, its dullness, plus a list of annoying details too long to mention – than for its musical excellence. It’s worth seeing to get a feel of both.
