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

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.

Matrimony, divorce, Germany's next top model and superb voices - this Munich production promises an exciting evening.

What man wants most is that which he cannot have. With a great deal of humour and attention to detail, Dieter Dorn leads Figaro and the household of his baronial palace through its “day of madness” to give us an evening of wonder.

Munich revives La traviata showcasing Diana Damrau, who is growing into one of the best Violettas to grace the opera stage today.

Ermonela Jaho bot an der Bayerischen Staatsoper in "La Traviata" einen fulminanten Ersatz für Sonya Yoncheva. Während das Ensemble mit starkem Auftritt überzeugte, hat die Inszenierung wenig zu erzählen.
