Performer: Simon Bode

The tenor and pianist pair Britten and Schubert in their Lieder recital on the stage of the Großer Saal. 

Ingo Kerkhof’s specious contemporary staging was only redeemed by a gruesome scalp and some marvellous playing in the pit.   

In Richard Jones' production of Don Giovanni at Theater Basel, it was the singers alone who stole the limelight.

When one thinks of Haydn, opera really isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. It’s the symphonies, the string quartets, even his oratorios you think of first, not his operas. And yet he wrote 15 of them. L’isola disabitata is the eleventh of the bunch, written for the Eszterházy court in 1779, and it was this opera The Norwegian Opera and Ballet (DNO) chose as their 2012/2013 season opener.

Ein akustisch durchwachsener Abend mit Joana Mallwitz und dem Konzerthausorchester Berlin.

Nicht alles glitzerte in der Aufführung so sehr wie die Dörkens an den Hammerklavieren bei Hermann Max' Bach in Brahms-Manier.
