Robert Wilson stages Lachenmann's Das Mädchen mit den Schwefelhölzern at the Ruhrtriennale

Director Robert Wilson and conductor Carlo Rizzi combine effectively to create a visually striking and musically memorable Turandot that emphasizes the hieratic and the mythical with a notable absence of unnecessary histrionics.

A production which has Robert Wilson's signature all over it, but feels like a wagon in front of the horse.
