Lydia Steier’s colourful production of Alcina in Basel was as much a lesson in conflict resolution as it was in the power of love.

Even forty years after its world première in Rotterdam, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui’s new production of Philip Glass’s three-act opera in Basel has particularly timely relevance.

Based on the ancient tragedies by Aeschylus, Oresteia makes a great case for composer Iannis Xenakis’s concept of “total theatre”.

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

Im Nachhinein dominieren in diesem Baseler Stockhausen-Revival die Impressionen des dritten Aktes und damit die Erinnerung an eine reichhaltige Komposition, ausgezeichnete Sänger und ebensolche Instrumentalisten.
