Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | English | Jakob Lenz

The ZKO shows us that Wolfgang Rihm's Jakob Lenz has lost none of its power, more than 40 years on. 

In the cosy confines of a packed Hampstead Theatre ENO’s English adaptation of Jacob Lenz produced an exciting, entertaining and emotionally draining 70 minutes of opera. Premiered in 1979 this is Rihm’s account of Sturm und Drang writer Jakob Lenz’s descent into madness.
