Giacomo Puccini starb bevor er seine letzte Oper vollenden konnte. Die Neuproduktion am Opernhaus zeigt nur die originalen Teile des Werks – ohne den Schluss. Dramaturgisch geht diese Rechnung nicht auf.

Mit Julie Fuchs und Benjamin Bernheim stehen zwei fantastische Sänger-Darsteller auf der Bühne. Doch wo spielt die Oper eigentlich? Und warum wird der Familienkonflikt so harmlos dargestellt?
