The Staatsoper's new production of Janáček's opera buzzes with life thanks to Sir Simon Rattle's conducting and an excellent cast led by Vera-Lotte Boecker and Magdalena Kožená.

On a snowy January evening, the premiere of Matthias Pintscher’s new opera Das kalte Herz fails to warm up the Berlin public.

In die aspetische Atmosphäre einer kargen Bühnenlandschaft hat Damiano Michieletto die glühenden Leidenschaften der Personen in Leoš Janáčeks Oper Jenůfa gestellt.

Director Claus Guth's new production for the Staatsoper Berlin is a bit of a mixed bag but the evening succeeds more on its musical merits, with a splendid ensemble of singers and orchestra conducted by Sir Simon Rattle.

L'Orchestre baroque de Fribourg dirigé par Sir Simon Rattle livre une interprétation formidable du chef-d'œuvre de Rameau, avec une distribution exceptionnelle jusque dans les importants rôles secondaires.

Although Damiano Michieletto's new production resembles an expensive drama workshop, it’s the marvellous performances that make this such a moving Jenůfa.
