Memorable singing in ambiguous Staatsoper Berlin Götterdämmerung
Irene Théorin and Andreas Schager lead a stunning musical performance, as Guy Cassiers vision of The Ring becomes clear.
Laufenberg’s Elektra a disappointment in Vienna
German theatre director Uwe Eric Laufenberg freely incorporates some of Stanley Kubrik’s horror story concepts into his Elektra, but in ignoring both Sophocles and Strauss, is a long way from shining.
Chéreau's Elektra arrives in Berlin
Evelyn Herlitzius and Adrianne Pieczonka are unsinkable in the the French director's final production, conducted with impressive symphonic sweep by Daniel Barenboim.
Long resonance of an overwhelming ending
Musical charm and mighty images of this Götterdämmerung leave the audience mesmerised.
Met's new Elektra a triumph of music and theater
The late director Patrice Chereau's last work, Elektra, was brilliantly realized at the Met, with special credit to conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen and soprano Nina Stemme.
