Performer: Stefan Blunier

An unusual but inspired programme of Riisager, Gershwin and Korngold finds a very receptive audience in Singapore. 

A strong, compelling staging – coherent in aesthetic and philosophy, if a little restrained in performance. 

Barrie Kosky, with nods to the surreal and the macabre, plunges us headlong into Hoffmann’s nightmarish world in a terrific new production at the Komische Oper.
