Die Frau ohne Schatten, Semperoper Dresden, 27 March 2024
[…] of temporal suspension and/or manipulation. The closed of the second act, often a thrilling, even terrifying climax, here seemed to function more as a summary of what had already happened, the Nurse’s ‘Übermächte sind im Spiel’ delivered in kind. Musical dramaturgy, then, was often unusual, yet never arbitrary. Thielemann had clearly considered his approach carefully. Miina-Liisa Värelä (Baraks Frau), Evelyn Herlitzius (Die Amme), Camilla Nylund (Die Kaiserin), Tilmann Rönnebeck (Der Einarmige), Oleksandr Pushniak (Barak), Tansel Akzeybek (Der Bucklige), Rafael Fingerlos (Der Einäugige), Kinderchor der Semperoper Dresden Vocal performances were, of course, part and parcel of all the above, and suggested similarly careful casting in a combination of celebrated exponents and newer comers. I cannot recall hearing an Emperor less strained than Eric Cutler. This doubtless had something to do with Thielemann’s new penchant for orchestral softness and lyricism, but also surely reflected Cutler’s own, more bel canto approach. It put […]

Bayreuth Festival (1) - Der fliegende Holländer, 14 August 2023
Festspielhaus Daland – Georg ZeppenfeldSenta – Elisabeth TeigeErik – Tomislav MužekMary – Nadine Weissmann Steersman – Tansel AkzeybekDutchman – Michael Volle Dmitri Tcherniakov (director, designs) Elena Zaytseva (costumes) Gleb Filshtinsky (lighting) Tatiana Werestchagina (dramaturgy) Bayreuth Festival OrchestraBayreuth Festival Orchestra (chorus master: Eberhard Friedrich)Oksana Lyniv (conductor) It had been six, not seven, years since I last saw The Flying Dutchman, but it was time. So it was for ‘H’: Holländer, rather than a friend from Line of Duty, though there was certainly something of the allied Nordic Noir genre to Dmitri Tcherniakov’s staging, first seen in 2021. The Dutchman revisits his home town following an horrific crime, resulting in a woman, perhaps a prostitute, left hanging from a window, seen (or dreamed) during the Overture. He plays his cards close to his chest, but is bent ultimately on justice, revenge, or both, insofar as they may be separated. Is […]

Anglais - Aloha, love! Hawaii auf der Bühne der Komischen Oper
[…] semi-concert performance in the practical stage reconstruction - as it is called on the cast sheet - by Matthias Grimminger and Henning Hagedorn, the singers have enough space on the area of the overbuilt pit to do fast and slow foxtrots and other dances of the jazz era, in the choreographic collaboration of Mariana Souza. Alma Sadé, a member of the Komische Oper ensemble, sings Princess Laya with grace and melodious soprano. Tenor Tansel Akzeybek gives a melancholic, dutiful Prince Lilo-Taro with a dignified, beautiful, timbre. Soprano Mirka Wagner is a sassy Bessie Worthington who gets what she wants. Tenor Johannes Dunz sings a pale and duty-bound Captain Stone. As secretary John Buffy, Julian Habermann's clear tenor stands out. Jörn-Felix Alt as Joker Jim can be described as a vocal and dancing whirlwind, full of precise, musical energy. He gives this shady character a charming personality of his […]
