Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | The Maid of Orleans

Elisabeth Stöppler inszeniert Tschaikowsky-Rarität als Charakterstudie statt Kriegstableau.

Director Dmitri Tcherniakov and a talented cast have done everything to make this opera work, but problematic elements persist.

It is all very easy on the eyes, although pondering what it is all supposed to mean is a recipe for a migraine.

Disparaged by critics and his fellow musicians, Tchaikovsky's The Maid of Orléans is performed by Odyssey Opera. 

The performance bids for musical purity, but ends up stripped of story and emotion as well.
