Bregenz's Tales of Hoffmann is different from everything you've seen before. The New York Times praised the 'thoughtfulness and creativity' of Stefan Herheim's new production, devised by the director as a search for one's own self in a sparkIing drag show. A 'shining-tone' (NYT) Hoffmann is embodied by tenor Daniel Johansson in the titIe role. He is supported by a fantastic cast: 'Rachel Frenkel is positively ideaI as Muse and NikIausse' (Kurier), Kerstin Avemo as Olympia is 'endowed with briIIiant, cheekily extemporized coIoraturas' (Neue Zürcher Zeitung), Michael VoIIe sings the parts of Lindorf, Coppelius, Dr. Miracle and Dappertutto, 'the work's four vilIains, with warmth and intensity' (NYT) and Mandy Fredrich is a 'finely phrased Antonia' (Kurier). |
