Performer: Vocalconsort Berlin

Barrie Kosky's new production of Philip Glass' Akhnaten for Komische Oper at the Schillertheater removes any egyptological references. 

The last of Jacques Offenbach's great buffo operettas provides an opportunity for topical satire but Max Hopp’s attempts at updating it fall short of the mark.

Jurowski and the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra give the Konzerthaus a night to remember with pungent renditions of Goldmann, Weill and Stravinsky's Jeu de cartes.
