Performer: Thomas Gazheli

A terrific double bill of two one-act operas: Der Zwerg (The Dwarf) by Alexander von Zemlinsky and Il tabarro by Giacomo Puccini.

Despite this mis-en-scene’s lack of intensity, this Siegfried closed the 2015 season of the Teatro Massimo with an outstanding musical performance.

Mona Somm delivers as a fiery Brünnhilde in a most satisfying performance of Götterdämerung, supported by a strong cast and orchestra.
