Performer: Kinderchor der Oper Zürich

Lydia Steier stages Strauss’ masterpiece to open Zurich Opera’s first premiere under the new artistic direction – a triumphant success. 

Benjamin Bernheim leads a very good cast in a revival of Tatjana Gürbaca's interesting 2017 production. 

Tenor Marcelo Álvarez and baritone George Petean both pull double duty in this classic verismo bill, revived effectively in Grischa Asagaroff's staging.
