Performer: Heike Vollmer

Alpine mountains and streams set the scene for an illuminating production of Wagner's 'play to consecrate a stage'. 

The magic in Philipp Stölzl and Philipp Krenn's new production comes from the pit, where Joana Mallwitz and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra captivate. 

Here was the much-loved three-act opera Rigoletto, yes, but chances are, it was one far beyond Verdi’s wildest dreams.

With superb singing from Harteros, Salsi and Kaufmann, this production makes a strong case for Andrea Chénier’s continued presence in the repertoire.

Anja Harteros shines in Umberto Giordano’s verismo opera, with a top class sound that trumps even Jonas Kaufmann’s comeback.

Die deutschsprachige Erstaufführung von Péter Eötvös’ Werk wird dank hervorragender Sänger, dem bestens disponierten Orchester und einer berührenden Inszenierung zum vollen Erfolg.
