Performer: Jana Sibera

Sláva Daubnerová's contemporary treatment of the Ring opener at the Prague National Theatre is socially ambitious but artistically disappointing.

The challenges of Cherubini’s version of the Greek tragedy prove too much for the National Theatre to overcome.

Aided by spirited singers and enthusiastic musicians, director Ondřej Havelka brings an imaginative, ironic touch to a lesser-known Smetana opera.
