Performer: Noam Heinz

Barrie Kosky's new production of Philip Glass' Akhnaten for Komische Oper at the Schillertheater removes any egyptological references. 

Handel's seldom-performed Hercules becomes the latest oratorio to undergo the Kosky treatment at Komische Oper. 

The last of Jacques Offenbach's great buffo operettas provides an opportunity for topical satire but Max Hopp’s attempts at updating it fall short of the mark.
