A terrific double bill of two one-act operas: Der Zwerg (The Dwarf) by Alexander von Zemlinsky and Il tabarro by Giacomo Puccini.

Despite this mis-en-scene’s lack of intensity, this Siegfried closed the 2015 season of the Teatro Massimo with an outstanding musical performance.

Mona Somm delivers as a fiery Brünnhilde in a most satisfying performance of Götterdämerung, supported by a strong cast and orchestra.

The third instalment of the Ring in a weekend continued to feature solid singing and orchestra playing as Siegfried played through the night. 

Wagner’s music proves that one does not need elaborate sets nor famous singers for a satisfying performance.

Eine nuancierte Personenregie sowie Sänger und Orchester in berauschender Form. Die zweite Premiere der Saison 2018/19 beschert der Oper Graz einen veritablen Erfolg.
