Performer: Stefan-Anton Reck

Despite this mis-en-scene’s lack of intensity, this Siegfried closed the 2015 season of the Teatro Massimo with an outstanding musical performance.

Vittorio Borrelli's double bill of Zemlinsky's Eine Florentinische Tragödie and Puccini's Gianni Schicchi had the audience constantly re-evaluating not only what is real and artifice, but what could be deemed virtue and vice.
