Performer: Jörg Halubek

Markus Bothe’s Botticelli-inspired production fuses tableau vivant aesthetics with Jörg Halubek’s surgical musical precision, offering a peerless, vivid tribute to the fragrant dawn of opera.

Loyalty and misdeeds in the jungle of emotions in Handel's Poro, re dell'Indie.

A post post-modern production of Berenice threw distraction upon distraction at the audience, but was saved by good singing and orchestral playing.

A muddled staging of Mozart's Lucio Silla in Kassel was made worse by two sicknesses in the cast (with one role cut entirely as a result). The orchestra and singers still made beautiful music.

Après son succès au Festival d'Aix-en-Provence, la mise en scène du chef-d'œuvre de Mozart par Simon McBurney s'exporte avec une même réussite dans la cité rhénane.

Johann Sigismund Kussers Adonis aus dem Frühbarock wird im erfrischend modernen Gewand zu einem rundum gelungenen Opernvergnügen.
