A strong cast carries this satisfying revival of Andreas Homoki's production of Salome at Opernhaus Zürich.

This year’s revival of Andreas Homoki's production features excellent principals, choruses, and sublime orchestration under Fabio Luisi’s seasoned baton. The staging takes far fewer accolades.

Musically, a rewarding Forza, but Homoki's staging is best forgotten.

From devoted wife and mother to murdering avenger, Médée is is a challenging role. A new Zurich production firmly secures her place in the collective memory, perhaps for the wrong reasons.

In der letzten Regiearbeit seiner 13-jährigen Intendanz am Opernhaus Zürich inszeniert Andreas Homoki das Oratorium Elias von Felix Mendelssohn. Die Tücken dieses Unterfangens löst er meistens bravourös.
