The National Theater takes a bold step forward with a smart realization of a literary grotesquerie.

Krakatit, an opera composed in the shadow of the Cold War, remains frighteningly relevant.

Whilst the spirit of Mozart permeates the Estates Theatre in Prague, it was sadly absent in both the staging and singing of his “work of uninterrupted perfection”.  

Despite some strong performances onstage and in the pit, the National Theater's Andrea Chénier never catches fire.

It's not for nothing that Janáček's opera is properly titled Její pastorkyňa (Her Stepdaughter). Karita Mattila's Kostelnička was at the centre of a powerful concert performance of Jenůfa.

Baffling staging muddles a politically charged period piece that still has the power to perturb.

The National Theatre in Prague should be the second-best place in the world to see Leoš Janáček's charming opera The Cunning Little Vixen. But its current production, new in the repertoire this season, is such a disappointment.
