El ‘No a la Guerra’ de Wozzeck en el Liceu

Maria Sánchez, 22nd May

La alienación de un Wozzeck rotundísimo de Matthias Goerne y la crudeza escénica de William Kentridge hace de esta producción una de las mejores propuestas del año.

William Kentridge's production of Berg’s Wozzeck has it all: wonderfully imaginative and disturbing designs, terrific acting and singing plus fabulous orchestral playing.

A toy-box of tyranny: Shostakovich, Stalin and Kentridge collide

Despite theatrical drawbacks, this Wozzeck is heartily recommended due to Yannick Nézet-Séguin's staggering understanding of all facets of Berg's score.
