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.
