Performer: Ludovit Ludha

Es hat beinahe 90 Jahre gedauert, bis die Wiener Staatsoper Leos Janáčeks Věc Makropuloszum ersten Mal präsentierte, doch für Peter Steins Inszenierung hat sich das lange Warten gelohnt. 

Director Claus Guth's new production for the Staatsoper Berlin is a bit of a mixed bag but the evening succeeds more on its musical merits, with a splendid ensemble of singers and orchestra conducted by Sir Simon Rattle.

Music Director Ludovic Morlot placed an emphatic Fortissimo ending on an eight-year tenure that has placed the Seattle Symphony on the global map.
