A feast for bass voices in the Staatsoper's sombre Boris Godunov
That Boris was sung by a Ukrainian in times like this might or might not have been a coincidence. But that Alexander Tsymbalyuk was an excellent choice for the role is indisputable.
Kaufmann and Davidsen lend star appeal to Grimes at the Staatsoper
In much anticipated role (Kaufmann) and stage (Davidsen) debuts, this revival of Peter Grimes at the Staatsoper was much anticipated, despite a production that should be put out to sea without a paddle.
Kosky's barren but satisfying Don Giovanni at the Wiener Staatsoper
Frozen lava rock extends from the proscenium to the backcloth, an apt image to depict the harm Don Giovanni inflicts upon the other characters in Mozart's darkest opera.
Solid singing struggles to resuscitate the Staatsoper's Nabucco
Amartuvshin Enkhbat and María José Siri spar as father and daughter in Günter Krämer's tired production of Verdi's biblical epic.
Méphistophélès steals the show in Staatsoper's Faust
Adam Palka shines as the devil in this revival of Frank Castorf's multimedia staging that relocates the work to mid-20th century Paris, around the end of the Algerian War.
Rothko meets Rococo in the Staatsoper's new Il barbiere di Siviglia
A bit too much buffo and scenic sensory overload mar the otherwise new enjoyable Il barbiere di Siviglia in Vienna.
Emojis instead of emotions in Simon Stone's Traviata in Vienna
Pretty Yende, Frédéric Antoun and Ludovic Tézier star in Stone’s production at the Wiener Staatsoper, where the orchestra did its magic under the baton of Nicola Luisotti.
Vienna's “Lohengrin in Lederhosen” redeemed by musical performances
The performance of Wagner’s Lohengrin transcends Andreas Homoki's curious staging, redeemed by vocal and orchestral performances that shine in their nuanced artistry.
