An ambitious effort to honor hometown hero Otakar Ostrčil sags under its own weight at the Prague National Theatre. 

The challenges of Cherubini’s version of the Greek tragedy prove too much for the National Theatre to overcome.

A chilly reception for director Kay Link's fresh take on a mythical Czech heroine mars an otherwise superb performance.

Superb singing and brilliant work in the pit can't quite rescue Jiří Nekvasil's overambitious production.

Aided by spirited singers and enthusiastic musicians, director Ondřej Havelka brings an imaginative, ironic touch to a lesser-known Smetana opera.

Fine vocal and musical performances can't overcome Sláva Daubnerová's staging which misses the mark.

Armida offers a compelling story, resonant issues and the spectacle of dueling wizards – but unfortunately, not in this production.

In einer bunten und temporeichen Inszenierung bietet die Grazer Oper bei Weinbergers Werk nicht nur musikalische Qualität, sondern auch ausgezeichnete Unterhaltung.

Mit Pavol Breslik und Adriana Kučerová gab sich im Slowakischen Nationaltheater in einer Vorstellung von Smetanas komischer Oper eine Traumbesetzung die Ehre. 

Making his operatic debut at Prague's National Theatre, director Daniel Špinar recasts Janáček’s From the House of the Dead as a schizophrenic prison comedy.
