Shortened and simplified to adapt to restrictions, David Bösch's 2016 production succeeds in bringing Mozart's brilliant opera to a modern setting with a splendid cast of singers.

Using the Nazi regime as his Leitmotif, Canadian director Robert Carsen brings Richard Strauss’ Arabella to the Zurich stage. 

Questionable identities, clandestine messages, love and money are the stuffs of Gioacchino Rossini’s Il barbiere di Siviglia, revived again in Zurich.

In Richard Jones' production of Don Giovanni at Theater Basel, it was the singers alone who stole the limelight.

La mise en scène de Robert Carsen reste trop littérale et la direction de Markus Poschner trop anguleuse pour la comédie lyrique de Strauss.
