The Opernhaus Zürich revives Sven-Eric Bechtolf's 2011 production of Verdi’s last masterpiece with a solid supporting cast. 

The Opernhaus Zürich revives Tatjana Gürbaca’s uninspiring production of Verdi’s masterpiece, with a solid cast under the baton of Leonardo Sini.

Blending the music of Monteverdi with lesser-known contemporaries, and even some pop, choreographer Christian Spuck takes leave of Zürich with a work that is as full of poetry as it is of emotional charge.

Andreas Homoki’s production suffers from last season's Covid restrictions, resulting in an alienating, aloof performance, but under the energetic baton of Marco Armiliato, it still proves a very successful musical evening.
