Performer: Andrea Carè

This is no Liederabend with singers taking their turn to file up to the piano. It’s a fully staged drama in which baritone Vladislav Sulimsky’s character reflects on his past loves and losses.

Carè, Katzarava and Treichl give committed performances in a reprise of Cavanagh’s production.

Carè, Stundytė and Pursio all shine as singers and actors in an intense, exciting production at the Finnish National Opera.
