Zurich

A cauldron of confusion: Handel’s Belshazzar staged in Zürich

By Sarah Batschelet, 03 November 2019

Lawrence Cummings conducts Zurich’s Orchestra La Scintilla in Handel’s oratorio-cum-opera, Belshazzar. The music was celestial; the staging was a bombastic mix of excess and vaudeville.

Ohne finale Liebesvereinigung: Puccinis Turandot in Zürich

By Thomas Schacher, 18 June 2023

Giacomo Puccini starb bevor er seine letzte Oper vollenden konnte. Die Neuproduktion am Opernhaus zeigt nur die originalen Teile des Werks – ohne den Schluss. Dramaturgisch geht diese Rechnung nicht auf.
