Performer: Theresa Wilson

Romeo Castellucci's intense production of Bartók's opera reaps its rewards in the performance under Teodor Currentzis, but Carl Orff's opera-oratorio De temporum fine comoedia feels little more than a drab filler. 

The pairing of controversial director and bad-boy conductor brings some thrills but the Salzburg Festival's new Don Giovanni proves disappointingly uninvolving. 

Claus Guth inszeniert Strauss' Oper als tiefenpsychologisches Rachespiel, bleibt jedoch mit seiner Deutung an der Oberfläche.
