In seiner neuen Inszenierung schafft Sam Brown mit naturalistischem Bühnenbild einen librettotreuen Kostüm- und Kulissenschinken, der die Zeiten transzendiert. Dabei heraus sticht Doris Soffel mit extravaganter Bühnenpräsenz.

Benjamin Brittens Tod in Venedig an der Deutschen Oper Berlin ist eine herausragende Neuproduktion von Graham Vick und Donald Runnicles.

Michele Mariotti triumphs in Rossini’s masterpiece with a good cast led by Salome Jicia and a new production, only partially successful.

The wealth of visual images displayed by director Graham Vick goes with the extraordinary richness of Korngold's music.

La presentación de La flauta mágica de Vick en Les Arts prometía una intensidad subversiva que resultó tan solo una sucesión de clichés trasnochados.

The Magic Flute's roots in popular theatre come through most strongly throughout Vick's production, which sparkles with a wealth of witty detail. But treatment of the work's socio-political undercurrents doesn't work nearly as well.

The advantage of staging a rare opera such as Cavalli's Hipermestra at Glyndebourne this year is that the director can work with a blank canvas without audience’s preconceptions.
