An empty glitter bomb: Aschenbrödels Traum at the Volksoper Wien

Chanda VanderHart, 4th December

A dizzying premise from Martina Eisenreich and Axel Ranisch, loosely drawing on Johann Strauss II’s unfinished ballet Aschenbrödel, which tries to be everything, all at once.

Ausgerechnet am 200. Geburtstag von Johann Strauß, bleibt seine Operette ein belangloser Verkleidungs- und Verwechslungsklamauk.
