Anna Netrebko gibt an der Bayerischen Staatsoper ein vielschichtiges Debüt als Turandot. Der Abend bleibt dennoch durchwachsen.

I can certainly attest that this was the closest I have ever felt to watching a 3-D thriller in Dolby Surround Sound whilst at the opera.

The production is a disconcerting combination of cold metallic future and Neanderthal aesthetics – a startling pairing of humanity’s beginning and its end. 

Carlus Padrissas Turandot wirkt auf das Publikum irgendwo zwischen einem psychodelischen Trip und Reizüberflutung und setzt gleichzeitig neue Maßstäbe für innovative Regieopern.

All five of the Houston Grand Opera’s performances of Die Walküre sold out immediately – more than 13,000 seats – and there are several good reasons why.

La Fura dels Baus's production balances the familiar with modern detail in a clever staging that packs a real punch. The Arena enjoyed its centennial edition last year, and one wonders whether this might be the production that they celebrate the next time around.
