Alexander Müller-Elmaus Inszenierung von Wagners zweiter Ring-Oper beeindruckt durch intensive Personenregie in den großen Dialogen.

The opera is way too dark. It runs far too long. It’s requires a soprano with vocal cords of amalgamated steel to sing the title role. No wonder Cherubini’s Medea is rarely performed. According to OPERA America records, the opera hasn’t been performed in the United States in nearly 20 years.
