More of a distraction than an enhancement, Ulrich Rasche’s giant steel machine grinds down the performers of this dark Elektra, which ultimately stumbles over its own feet.

A muddled staging of Mozart's Lucio Silla in Kassel was made worse by two sicknesses in the cast (with one role cut entirely as a result). The orchestra and singers still made beautiful music.

À l'exception de la direction intéressante d'Antonino Fogliani à la tête de l'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, il n'y a pas grand-chose à saluer dans cette production clinquante, dénuée de la moindre cohérence artistique.
