Performer: Fabio Dietsche

Barrie Kosky stages the famous Viennese operetta as a whirlwind spectacle. Marlis Petersen shines in the title role vocally and theatrically. Michael Volle does not live up to expectations.

Mélanie Huber’s production misses the mark for Donizetti’s silly comedy, sung by a solid cast.

The ZKO shows us that Wolfgang Rihm's Jakob Lenz has lost none of its power, more than 40 years on.
