Artiste: Elliott Carlton Hines

Die Verurteilung des Lukullus, Paul Dessau and Bertolt Brecht's political satire about a Roman general judged for his deeds after death, has lost none of its relevance in Staatsoper Stuttgart's new production. 

Weill and Brecht's excoriating satire is brilliantly executed; after such an intense opener, Mahagonny-Songspiel is less convincing.

Der himmlische Chor und das Orchester glänzen in Àlex Ollés Inszenierung, die der Musik szenisch nicht gerecht wird.
