Stuck in purgatory: Tannhäuser at Budapest’s Wagner Days
Loading image...
Individual performances impress, but conducting and production both prove too meandering in this year’s Wagner Days Tannhäuser.
Hungarian State Opera delightfully revamps L’incoronazione di Poppea
Monteverdi’s last opera, recomposed by Máté Bella for a modern orchestra and a jazz combo, is an over-the-top, glitzy romp with plenty of casual sex and even more casual violence.
Tannhäuser's long and tortuous journey of the spirit
Stephen Gould is less than convincing in the lead role of Tannhäuser, but excellent ensemble work under Ádám Fischer's inspired direction offers compensations.
