Performer: Frank Flade

Eva-Maria Westbroek proves an outstanding Káťa in the Staatsoper's revival of Janáček's opera, powerfully conducted by Simon Rattle. 

It’s not often that operas in English get performed in Germany, and so I was somewhat surprised to see such a large and important company as the Berliner Staatsoper taking on Stravinsky’s The Rake’s Progress.

Jürgen Flimms Produktion unterstreicht die frech-fröhlich-Mozartschen Züge der Figuren der spielfreudigen Besetzung.
