Parsifal an der Wiener Staatsoper: und es ward Licht im Gralsgefängnis

Snapdragon, 5th April

Die Inszenierung von Kirill Serebrennikov passt zwar nicht zur Atmosphäre, gesanglich – mit Klaus Florian Vogt in der Titelrolle – begeistert die Vorstellung jedoch umso mehr.

Laura Servidei, 14th March

Snapdragon, 16th February

Nach 35 Jahren Pause zeigt die Wiener Staatsoper Luisa Miller aus 1849, also jenes Werk, das den Übergang von Giuseppe Verdis frühen „Galeerenjahren“ zu seiner reifen Schaffensphase markiert und über Stiffelio eine Brücke zur „trilogia popolare“ (Rigoletto, Il trovatore und La traviata) schlägt.

An Idomeneo shattered to pieces at the Wiener Staatsoper

Orsolya Gyárfás, 23rd January

A committed cast struggles to lend a spark of life to Kasper Holten's static staging of Mozart's first mature opera.

Une inaltérable Chauve-souris à Vienne, le soir du réveillon

Jean-Pierre Rousseau, 31st December

En ce soir de réveillon, les chanteurs en font parfois des tonnes pour caractériser leur personnage, mais le public ne demande que cela dans ce grand classique bien mené par le duo Kaufmann-Damrau.
