Performer: Tanja Ariane Baumgartner

Vincent Huguet's 2019 production of Richard Strauss‘ masterpiece is given a stupendous revival at the Wiener Staatsoper with an excellent ensemble of soloists.

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. 

More of a distraction than an enhancement, Ulrich Rasche’s giant steel machine grinds down the performers of this dark Elektra, which ultimately stumbles over its own feet.

The performance of Wagner’s Lohengrin transcends Andreas Homoki's curious staging, redeemed by vocal and orchestral performances that shine in their nuanced artistry.

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