Oper und Schauspiel in Il ritorno / Das Jahr des magischen Denkens
Michael Vieth, 7th May
Il ritorno von Claudio Monteverdi und Joan Didions magisches Denken über Warten und Spannen der Zeit: eine bemerkenswerte Symbiose gelingt dem Regisseur Christopher Rüping im Festival „Ja, Mai“ der Bayerischen Staatsoper

A noble Norma trapped in a hollow dystopia
Andrew Larkin, 24th May
Salome Jicia delivers a vocally impressive and emotionally committed Norma, but Orpha Phelan’s post-apocalyptic staging fatally weakens Bellini’s sacred tragedy.

A deli-cious revival of Rossini’s Il turco in Italia at Glyndebourne
Dominic Lowe, 23rd May
Mariame Clément’s production of Rossini's meta comedy is tightly revived with some excellent singing. Come for the writing tips, stay for the cured meats.

Sandra Bowdler, 23rd May
As usual, Pinchgut lavishes musical excellence on an obscure Baroque work... but why stage an oratorio?

David Wolfson, 22nd May
Deborah Colker and her design team create visually vibrant worlds for the Met’s new production of El último sueño de Frida y Diego, by Pulitzer Prize winner Gabriela Lena Frank. 
*****
Glyndebourne’s first Tosca: vocally strong but imperfect
David Karlin, 21st May
Ted Huffman brings some interesting ideas to his first Glyndebourne production. Excellent singing is let down by indifferent physical acting.
