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.

COC triumphs with Kentridge’s brilliantly conceived Wozzeck

John Gilks, 25th April

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

Oh To Believe in Another World: Shostakovich and Stalin on film

Mark Pullinger, 24th April

William Kentridge's film, a patchwork collage depicting Shostakovich's complicated relationship with Stalin, is played as film score to his Tenth Symphony at the Southbank's genre-crossing Multitudes festival.

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

Kurt Gottschalk, 7th December

Shostakovich’s Tenth Symphony is a massive and aptly complicated work to which William Kentridge’s film adds contextual layers of stop-motion animation and vintage footage in a surreal nightmare of tyranny.

Kentridge s'en va-t-en guerre : le foudroyant Wozzeck de Bastille

Pierre Liscia-Beaurenaut, 27th March

Le très grand Wozzeck de Bastille ne se contente pas de faire écho à l'actualité : il brille surtout par une esthétique glaçante et une équipe mémorable.

*****

Bleak and hopeless: William Kentridge's Wozzeck at the Met

Robert Levine, 2nd January

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