Performer: Matthäus Schmidlechner

Sven-Erich Bechtolf's staging of Wagner's Ring returns with Franz Welser-Möst at the helm for the final time, having recently announced his retirement of the cycle from his repertoire. 

Weill and Brecht's excoriating satire is brilliantly executed; after such an intense opener, Mahagonny-Songspiel is less convincing.

Damiano Michieletto's production does not let the viewer rest easy even when the opera has ended.

An Elektra conducted like Mendelssohnian fairy music, sung not shouted, just as Strauss required.

25 years after its creation in Bayreuth, Director Heiner Müller's legendary production of Tristan und Isolde was recreated and presented in Linz with committed performers with great success.

An astonishing performance by Asmik Grigorian is central to the Italian director's disturbing reading of a disturbing opera.
