Performer: Peixin Chen

Szenisch enttäuscht der Abend auf ganzer Linie, da Peter Sellars Regie lieb- und ideenlos daherkommt; musikalisch bleiben allerdings keine Wünsche offen! 

Christopher Alden’s Victorian-era Rigoletto still divides opinions, despite top-notch performances all around in this Toronto revival. 

Quinn Kelsey shines as Verdi’s court jester as Tomer Zvulun's production opens in Los Angeles. 

A fully-staged performance of Wagner's Das Rheingold transforms Walt Disney Concert Hall to an opera house where the orchestra is the star. 

Lucas Meachem’s portrayal suggests a paraphrase of what another Hollywood Don Juan, Errol Flynn in 1949, said to his Leporello in excusing his escapades. “My dear friend, there’s a little bit of Don Giovanni in every man, and since I am Don Giovanni, there must be more of it in me!” 

Despite some confused visual elements, an excellent musical performance makes Seattle Opera's production well worth watching.
