Intérprete: Staatsoper Berlin

Carlo Rizzi’s conducting and a strong vocal cast led by Sonya Yoncheva partially make up for Lydia Steier's misdirected staging in the Staatsoper Unter den Linden’s production of Spontini’s opera.

Andrea Moses transforms Mozart’s opera into a hybrid of Singspiel, stand-up comedy and cabaret, a concept that rarely deepens the work and often competed directly with it.

At the Staatsoper Unter den Linden, Rafael R Villalobos addresses the problems he perceives with Verdi’s Un ballo in maschera, although the musical performances – led by Anna Netrebko – compensate.

Patricia Nolz makes an outstanding role debut as Christian Thielemann conducts a thrusting Rosenkavalier to open the Staatsoper Unter den Linden's Festtage. 

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.
