Neue Kritikenmehr...
Vom Entstehen einer Oper: Leoš Janáčeks Osud am Janáček-Theater Brno
Robert Carsen schafft eine subtile aber meisterhaft vielschichtige neue Inszenierung.
Musically excellent Bartered Bride in Prague marred by meta production
Smetana in Prague is never likely to be less than a delight, and the National Theatre assembles a fine cast for a revival of Alice Nellis' production of his greatest opera.
In Prague, a high-minded new Rheingold never gets off the ground
Sláva Daubnerová's contemporary treatment of the Ring opener at the Prague National Theatre is socially ambitious but artistically disappointing.
Revival of Ostrčil’s The Legend of Erin misses the mark in Prague
An ambitious effort to honor hometown hero Otakar Ostrčil sags under its own weight at the Prague National Theatre.
A bleak Jenůfa from Calixto Bieito
The director drains the life out of an impassioned opera with a staging devoid of authenticity and ideas.
An audacious update of a Dvořák classic in Prague
Directors Martin Kukučka and Lukáš Trpišovský, who work together as SKUTR, take on Dvořák’s Rusalka with a surfeit of ideas.
