Oscar Wilde takes centre stage in Staatsoper's Salome

The Staatsoper revives a confused production by Hans Neuenfels, under the baton of Thomas Guggeis.

Jansons trumps Neuenfels' tame Pique Dame in Salzburg

Mark Pullinger, 10th August

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

Rachvelishvili triumphs as Azucena in Berlin

Laura Servidei, 12th May

In a dated production by Hans Neuenfels, conductor Giacomo Sagripanti leads a musically successful Trovatore, where Angela Meade and Anita Rachvelishvili show their vocal brilliance.

Neuenfels' bloodless Salome in Berlin

Hugo Shirley, 8th March

Hans Neuenfels new Salome proves a strangely non-committal affair at the Staatsoper, but Thomas Guggeis conducts impressively.

Neuenfels' laboratory Lohengrin impresses at Bayreuth

David Larkin, 26th July

Hans Neuenfels' setting of Lohengrin as scientific experiment with a chorus of rats affords thought-provoking pleasures, with star turns from Klaus Florian Vogt in the title role and Petra Lang as Ortrud.

Klaus Florian Vogt a Lohengrin for the ages in Bayreuth

Ako Imamura, 6th August

Klaus Florian Vogt's astounding portrayal of the swan knight continues to evolve and deepen in the once infamous "Rat" Lohengrin in Bayreuth in a evening of sheer brilliance and near perfection.
