Royal Ballet & Opera 2026-27 Review: Don Giovanni

https://operawire.com/royal-ballet-opera-2026-27-review-don-giovanni/

(Photo: Mihaela Bodlovic) Technically classified as an opera buffo, or a comic opera, both Mozart and his librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte formally assigned it on the printed score as a dramma giocoso, which translates literally to “drama with jokes” or “joking drama.” Without giving away the entire plot, “Don Giovanni” tells the dramatic tale of an unrepentant, narcissistic nobleman whose {…}

Bayerische Staatsoper 2025-26 Review: Norma

https://operawire.com/bayerische-staatsoper-2025-26-review-norma/

Bayerische Staatsoper 2025-26 Review: Macbeth

https://operawire.com/bayersiche-staatsoper-2025-26-review-macbeth/

(Photo: Geoffroy Schied) Such an inspired work ought to offer fertile ground for a stage director. Yet Martin Cicvák’s production, now almost two decades old, remains a striking example of Regietheater at its least illuminating. Whatever power it may once have possessed to scandalize has long since dissipated, leaving only a succession of provocations that obscure rather than deepen Shakespeare’s {…}
