Neue Kritikenmehr...
In Prague, a high-minded new Rheingold never gets off the ground
Sláva Daubnerová's contemporary treatment of the Ring opener at the Prague National Theatre is socially ambitious but artistically disappointing.
A bleak Jenůfa from Calixto Bieito
The director drains the life out of an impassioned opera with a staging devoid of authenticity and ideas.
A politically charged new Manon in Prague
Puccini's classic takes on a harsh contemporary edge in a dark treatment by director Sláva Daubnerová at Prague's National Theatre.
A rambunctious Platée revival in Prague
SKUTR's daring direction and Václav Luks's early music expertise combine to bring new vitality to a Baroque classic.
A muddled new Ariadne auf Naxos in Prague
Fine vocal and musical performances can't overcome Sláva Daubnerová's staging which misses the mark.
Tatjana Gürbaca's audacious Mozart update misses the mark in Prague
A talented cast labors under the yoke of a gender-conscious Così fan tutte in a new production at the Estates Theatre.
