Le Theater Basel propose la Tétralogie à la façon d'un « festival scénique » digne du projet original de Richard Wagner. Retour sur les deux premiers épisodes d'une série qui est déjà une franche réussite.

Ce trittico fera date, grâce à un travail d’équipe exceptionnel d’où se distinguent notamment Christof Loy, Carlo Rizzi et l’incroyable Asmik Grigorian dans les trois rôles féminins de l’ouvrage.

Dans une mise en scène épurée, Asmik Grigorian est la grande triomphatrice de la production ; sous la direction de Franz Welser-Möst, les Wiener Philharmoniker sont au meilleur de leur forme.

Corinne Winters is phenomenal as the self-possessed Jenůfa in The Royal Opera's revival of Claus Guth's powerful staging. 

In die aspetische Atmosphäre einer kargen Bühnenlandschaft hat Damiano Michieletto die glühenden Leidenschaften der Personen in Leoš Janáčeks Oper Jenůfa gestellt.

Director Lotte De Beer's thoroughly realized, aesthetically rich and beautifully executed production of Janáček's masterpiece is anchored by strong performances from Nina Stemme and Svetlana Aksenova.

Peter Eötvös's thirteenth opera, based on the Trilogy by Norwegian author Jon Fosse, chronicles the struggles of a young couple to search for their own identity and place in society.

Benjamin Brittens erste große Oper verschmilzt mit Christof Loys Inszenierung zu einem Gesamtkunstwerk.

Although Damiano Michieletto's new production resembles an expensive drama workshop, it’s the marvellous performances that make this such a moving Jenůfa.

Katie Mitchell's second production of Jenůfa is a straightforward, effective reading of the libretto well supported by excellent singing actors.

Mariss Jansons and the Vienna Philharmonic do the real storytelling as Hans Neuenfels' staging underwhelms.

Calixto Bieito, fiel a su estilo y tradición, se entrega a mostrar la caída en desgracia de la protagonista de Die Soldaten del modo más directo y descarnado posible.

Munich revived a thoughtful modern production of Janáček's Jenůfa, with fine orchestral direction and strong singing doing full justice to the rich score.

In April, Peter Mattei and Anna Netrebko were starring together in Eugene Onegin at the Metropolitan Opera. Less than a month later and they are reunited in Paris in Willy Decker's staging.

Olivier Tambosi’s controversial production of Janáček's Jenůfa first appeared at the Met in 2003.

Though certainly not the most heartwarming of tales this Christmas season, this is a production one shouldn’t miss.

The Bayerische Staatsoper presents an ugly, brutal staging of Zimmermann's Die Soldaten – which is exactly as it should be. Barbara Hannigan's Marie steals the show, but the entire cast manage seemingly impossible musical and dramatic feats.

Tschaikowskis Oper ist lange in den Archiven verschwunden, doch das Ausgraben lohnt: Nicht nur für Freunde der russischen Opernliteratur oder Tschaikowski ein Genuss, und auf jeden Fall eine Erweiterung des musikalischen Horizontes.

Atom Egoyan’s production of Richard Strauss’ Salome is styled for extreme contrasts. You could think of it as Springtime for Herod in Judea. While patrons spilling out of limos, taxis and Wheel-Trans were gathering on this magnolia blossom-filled May Day evening in the plaza outside the opera house’s glass façade, a parade hedged by bicycle cops was filing by.
