Performer: Alexander Kaimbacher

Herheim’s Fledermaus is a risky experiment that, miraculously, works – at least in a city that knows it so intimately.

The last of Jacques Offenbach's great buffo operettas provides an opportunity for topical satire but Max Hopp’s attempts at updating it fall short of the mark.

Ligeti's “anti-anti opera” opens in Zurich in a new production by Tatjana Gürbaca. 

Both the staging and the music of the Bayerische Staatsoper's Traviata disappoint.

Warlokowski's staging of Eugene Onegin for the Bayerische Staatsoper works from a bold premise: Onegin is gay. Strong musical and dramatic performances keep the concept coherent and interesting, but it ultimately doesn't convince.

Every operatic ingredient was thrown into the pot for H.K. Gruber's Geschichten aus dem Wiener Wald (Tales from the Vienna Woods), but do too many cooks spoil this operatic broth?
