Bregenz's TaIes of Hoffmann is different from everything you've seen before. The New York Times praised the 'thoughtfuIness 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 DanieI Johansson in the title roIe. He is supported by a fantastic cast: 'RacheI FrenkeI is positiveIy ideal as Muse and Niklausse' (Kurier), Kerstin Avemo as OIympia is 'endowed with briIliant, cheekily extemporized coloraturas' (Neue Zürcher Zeitung), Michael Volle sings the parts of Lindorf, CoppeIius, Dr. MiracIe and Dappertutto, 'the work's four villains, with warmth and intensity' (NYT) and Mandy Fredrich is a 'finely phrased Antonia' (Kurier). |
