Der große Mann im Fettanzug dominiert die Show und gibt dem Falstaff der Ungarischen Staatsoper Elan und Lebensfreude.

Glänzende Turandot an der Ungarischen Staatsoper

Jenny Camilleri, 30th January

Aufregend dirigiert und überwiegend gut gesungen sollte diese üppige aber schnörkellose Turandot sowohl Traditionalisten und abenteuerlustige Operngänger erfreuen.

Klára Kolonits's radiant Elsa proves the main attraction in the Hungarian State Opera's visually appealing but conceptually lacking new Lohengrin.

Hungarian State Opera's cut-down, dramatically inert Gioconda fails to ignite the stage in Budapest, despite a solid musical foundation.

Orsolya Gyárfás, 14th May
