Wenn man auf die richtigen Karten setzt: eine eindrucksvolle Carmen von Kasper Holten in Bregenz

Wiederaufnahme am Himmelfahrtstag: Der Berliner Lohengrin lohnt vor allem, aber nicht nur wegen des einzigartigen Klaus Florian Vogt.

Eugene Onegin returns to the Sydney Opera house in Kasper Holten’s slightly awkward production but the singing and orchestral playing are exemplary. 

A committed cast struggles to lend a spark of life to Kasper Holten's static staging of Mozart's first mature opera.

Kasper Holten’s much travelled and spectacular Don Giovanni gets a fresh and lively remount at Toronto’s Four Seasons Centre from a young cast headed up by Gordon Bintner. 

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!”
