Frauenliebe und -sterben: Kratzer’s triple bill at Staatsoper Hamburg
Director Tobias Kratzer engineers a haunting pasticcio of Schumann, Bartók and Zemlinsky, tracing the domestic sphere’s shift from romantic surrender to the blood-soaked secrets of a century-spanning house.
A feast for the eyes and ears: Lehár’s Merry Widow in Zurich
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.
Claus Guth presents The Makropulos Case as tragicomedy in Berlin
Director Claus Guth's new production for the Staatsoper Berlin is a bit of a mixed bag but the evening succeeds more on its musical merits, with a splendid ensemble of singers and orchestra conducted by Sir Simon Rattle.
It was all a dream: an absorbing Die tote Stadt in Munich
With an unsurpassed cast, devoted conducting and a brilliantly imaginative staging, the Bavarian State Opera's new production of Korngold's Die tote Stadt is a triumph.
Kirill Petrenko's new energy proves irresistible at the Philharmonie
Sultry Berg and and a lithe, forceful Beethoven Nine herald an exciting new reign in Berlin.
