Artiste: Tito You

Robert Wilson's new production of La traviata in Linz succeeds in communicating the emotional depth of Verdi's tragedy despite his stylized minimalism.

Since 2013 marks a Verdi anniversary, the Viennese have been treated to two new productions of Il trovatore: Philipp Stölzl’s pacey, offbeat deconstruction that will open in Berlin next week, and this Volksoper co-production with the Theater Bonn where the curtain goes down after every scene.
