Ulf Schirmer bows out as General Music Director as the last of Wagner's 13 operas completes a successful Festival Wagner 22 in Leipzig.

Balázs Kovalik's new dystopian Turandot is musically rousing but let down by a production that's more 1970s TV series than slick modern sci-fi. 

Calixto Bieitos eigenwillige Sichtweise rundete sich mit Ulf Schirmers Dirigat zu einem Epos zwischen Melancholie und Apokalypse.
