The Opernhaus Zürich revives Robert Carsen’s 1990 production, with a strong cast led by Sonya Yoncheva and Joseph Calleja.

Andreas Homoki's staging takes full advantage of Hartmut Meyer’s utterly spectacular set, while Elena Stikhina sings the difficult title role to perfection. 

Gürbaca’s production is a wacky new take on a Donizetti classic, one that will not perhaps be to all tastes. 

The Zurich Opernhaus tackles the pandemic with an innovative strategy: instead of reducing the size of orchestra and chorus (as many other European opera houses) it removes them from the theatre altogether. 

In its revival here in Zurich, the soloists and choir of Beethoven's Fidelio give stellar vocal performances. But having done away with any real set, the opera was not without its shortcomings.

In the Zurich premiere of The Little Match Girl, choreographer Christian Spück tackles a project of major proportions.

A production which has Robert Wilson's signature all over it, but feels like a wagon in front of the horse.
