Today’s menu: Antony & Cleopatra by John Adams—Theater Koblenz. Such a strange (but refreshing) experience to watch a piece you know so well done in a completely different way. ⭐️ World premiere 2022 SFO. 🇪🇺 Premiere 2023 Barcelona. 2025 at the Met. 🇩🇪 Premiere 2026 in Koblenz!
Now I can reveal it was @HellTweet's latest #opera, Anthony and Cleopatra, with the magnificent @findo and his steely, powerful baritone. 🎶 👏🏼 Bravo!
The only drawback: amplification of both orchestra & singers, the price of performing in a temporary circus tent venue. 🎪🙁
A fantastic Zazà in Bielefeld tonight - incredible performance from Dušica Bijelić in the title role, and excellent, detailed production from Nadja Loschky (also nice to watch a piece I don’t know)
