Ni el excelente trabajo de la orquesta logra rescatar el peso de unos cantantes a medio gas y de una escena con fondo escaso y forma agotada.

Jens-Daniel Herzog sets his new Orlando in a sanatorium where, pulled between his love for a woman and his passion for war, the protagonist is trying to recover his sanity.
