It has been quite a ride, full of unexpected twists and turns: not entire unlike the history of our benighted late capitalist world since Wagner-Jahr in 2013 – although thank God, nothing like so far-fetched. I did not see the 2013 Ring; Per-Erik Skramstad reviewed it for wagneropera.net that year. I did, however, see it in 2014and 2016. As […]

June DVD of the Month: Harnoncourt Conducts Mozart
The three Mozart operas on this DVD are my great favorites. This recording also serves as a way to remember the conductor, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, who died a few months ago. The title of this DVD is: Harnoncourt: The Mozart Da Ponte Operas Mozart: Cosi fan tutte, K588 Don Giovanni, K527 Le nozze di Figaro, K492 Nikolaus Harnoncourt was a legend who brought music to life and made it speak.

There is a well-judged, “correct” turn from veteran tenor Roberto Saccà in the unrewarding part of the bourgeois husband, Walter. Unfortunately, soprano Elena Kelessidi’s Marta is marred by instability and tonal edginess. Her hardworking dramatic performance, in what could be the opera’s other great role, does not locate a character in the nobly suffering object. In the years since 2010, David Pountney’s strongly theatrical production has traveled to several European and U.S. venues, with stops in Houston, Chicago, and New York (the Park Avenue Armory), […]
