Überragende Frau ohne Schatten in Amsterdam

Phillip Richter, 3rd May

Marc Albrechts und Katie Mitchell machen Richard Strauss‘ Märchenoper zum rasant-schockenden Sci-Fi-Thriller.

*****

Bats! Die Fledermaus is a fabulous flight of fantasy at DNO

Eleanor Knight, 5th December

Johann Strauss II's Die Fledermaus, was never meant to challenge grand opera for profundity and Barrie Kosky pokes fun at Viennese high society in his riotous staging.

*****

A Puccini hat-trick: Barrie Kosky directs Il trittico in Amsterdam

Eleanor Knight, 3rd May

Barrie Kosky brings his trio of Puccini productions to a close with another triptych: Il trittico in a triumphant staging.

*****

Oedipus Rex and Antigone a double triumph for DNO and DNB

Eleanor Knight, 9th March

When the director walks four weeks ahead of opening night, Dutch National Opera and Ballet hastily create a searing double bill of classical tragedy.

*****

Mahagonny ist eine Fata Morgana: Kurt Weills Oper endlich in Amsterdam

Michael Klier, 6th September

Ivo van Hoves nicht jugendfreie Inszenierung treibt Brechts moralischen Zeigefinger humoristisch (und erfolgreich) auf die Spitze.
