Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Bregenz

At the Bregenz Festival, director Philpp Stölzl gives us a radical updating of the classic, with an interpretation many miles away from Weber.

Anna Goryachova and Mélissa Petit shine as doomed lovers Tancredi and Amenaide, while Jan Philipp Gloger's contemporary setting has much to offer, but doesn't quite nail the landing.

Here was the much-loved three-act opera Rigoletto, yes, but chances are, it was one far beyond Verdi’s wildest dreams.

The restrained pacing of Larcher's opera suited the intimate setting of the Werkstattbühne.

This summer’s production of Bizet’s Carmen on the Seebühne stage in Bregenz offers a great spectacle. 

Andreas Homoki inszeniert Puccinis Oper auf einem riesigen Stück Papier. Was noch einem harten Stück Regietheater klingt, entpuppt sich als packendes Kammerspiel, das ganz auf seine Protagonistin zugespitzt ist.

Martinůs' musikalisch interessantes Doppelkonzert wird von den Wiener Symphonikern technisch ausgezeichnet realisiert.
