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.

Hamburg's revival of a 2015 production is a musical success, but the director's concepts are sometimes too dense to tell a straightforward story.

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

High intensity girl power for a complex task: Simone Young shines in the pit, Karoline Gruber’s staging convinces with expertise and attention to detail.

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.

Vor 25 Jahren feierte Andreas Homokis Inszenierung von Prokofjews Oper Premiere; in dieser Saison ist sie ein letztes Mal zu sehen.
