Intérprete: Prague National Theatre Orchestra

Aribert Reimann's Lear takes no prisoners in a disturbing portrayal of a world gone awry, but Barbora Horáková's scattergun direction adds to the confusion. 

The director drains the life out of an impassioned opera with a staging devoid of authenticity and ideas.

The challenges of Cherubini’s version of the Greek tragedy prove too much for the National Theatre to overcome.
