Korngold’s Die tote Stadt, more alive than ever in Boston
The composer's magnum opus, unjustly neglected in English-speaking countries, receives magnificent treatment from Andris Nelsons and the Boston Symphony Orchestra, anchored by David Butt Philip and Christine Goerke.
Turin's Orpheus does not ascend to Heaven
In the Teatro Regio's production everything is according to the script, but the magic of the stage is absent.
Turin's Salome devoid of lunar magic
With so little of worth happening onstage, this performance requires a unanimously strong set of performances from the main cast.
Patience is a virtue in the Teatro Regio's marvellous Tristan und Isolde
What distinguishes Noseda's Tristan most of all is especial balance in the orchestra and a transparency of sound that reveals the inner-workings of the music.
