Neue Kritikenmehr...
An ambitious update of Dialogues of the Carmelites in Prague
Barbora Horáková’s new staging of Poulenc’s historic tragedy hits hard at the Prague State Opera, but it never quite reaches its goal.
Dido and Aeneas in Prague: wide-eyed wonderment
Alice Nellis' staging of Purcell's masterpiece is both historically faithful and innovatively modern. With Collegium 1704 providing the early music chops, it's a rare treat.
Calixto Bieito’s Idomeneo runs out of time in Prague
At the Prague State Opera, Calixto Brieito relocates Mozart's opera seria to modern times, with disastrous results.
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 all-star Jenůfa falls short in Prague
Superb singing and brilliant work in the pit can't quite rescue Jiří Nekvasil's overambitious production.
Muddled Mozart: a new Figaro in Prague
Barbora Horáková's imaginative updating of The Marriage of Figaro sags under its own weight at the Estates Theatre, Prague.
