Die Soldaten is uncomfortable, ugly, violent... and perfect

Ilana Walder-Biesanz, 31st October

The Bayerische Staatsoper presents an ugly, brutal staging of Zimmermann's Die Soldaten – which is exactly as it should be. Barbara Hannigan's Marie steals the show, but the entire cast manage seemingly impossible musical and dramatic feats.
