Hindemith's opera, based on the life and theories of Johannes Kepler, is impressively realised by the Landestheater

The Bruckner Orchester Linz’s Chicago appearance was centered on American music with music director Dennis Russell Davies and vocalist Angélique Kidjo, rounded off by a Zemlinsky song cycle based on African-American poetry.

I can certainly attest that this was the closest I have ever felt to watching a 3-D thriller in Dolby Surround Sound whilst at the opera.

A mixed evening at Cadogan Hall, with Philip Glass' Ninth Symphony emerging much more strongly than some stodgy Beethoven. 

A rare visit to London by the Bruckner Orchester Linz, with their Music Director Dennis Russell Davies, saw them bring Bruckner's Sixth to Cadogan Hall. 

Bolcom’s McTeague, a two-act opera based on the 1899 novel McTeague: A Story of San Francisco by Frank Norris, is warmly received at its European première with the Landtheater Linz. 

Robert Wilson's new production of La traviata in Linz succeeds in communicating the emotional depth of Verdi's tragedy despite his stylized minimalism.

With Götterdämmerung the Linz Ring came to a controversial conclusion with a graphic depiction of Siegfried violently raping a defenceless Brünnhilde, and Hagen entertaining his father Alberich, and his mother.

Rewarding performances by Matthäus Schmidlechner as Mime and Lars Cleveman in the title role, plus Elena Nebera as Brünnhilde, made Richard Wagner’s Siegfried at the Landestheater Linz a joy.

Some beautiful singing from Michael Bedjai as Siegmund and Brit-Tone Müller as Sieglinde set a high standard in this Landestheater Linz production of Richard Wagner’s Die Walküre.

Gerd Grochowski made a stunning Wotan and Michael Bedjai a cheerful Loge in Landestheater Linz’s production of Das Rheingold.
