Through the Looking-Glass and What Senta Found There: Philipp Stözl’s Flying Dutchman arrives at MusikTheater an der Wien featuring a terrific cast led by Ambur Braid and Jordan Shanahan.

Philipp Stölzl's production of Der fliegende Holländer, which places the action within a giant frame in a library, arrives at The Liceu.

Deutsche Oper Berlin's revival of Parsifal features a brilliant musical performances to override the production's focus on the dark side of religion.

The children's Barber of Seville is too severely cut to have any substance, but fabulous playing and conducting, stellar young soloists, and an imaginative staging make it a fun afternoon.

Parsifal at the Deutsche Oper Berlin is both sublime and terrifying. Vincke's Parsifal was bold and heroic while Herlitzius sang with a silver, sinuous soprano. Stolzl's production gave us the fanaticism of religion rather than hope.

Das Niveau der Solisten steht der enttäuschenden Inszenierung in unüberbrückbarer Distanz gegenüber.
