Hermann Schneider / Recenze

If the detailed production contains many riches, then so does the musical side. On stage for almost the entire performance and carrying most of the vocal writing, Aschenbach is a true test for any tenor, and Hans Schöpflin proves to be an outstanding interpreter. Using his clearly focused tenor and faultless English diction he creates a sympathetic character who retains his dignity throughout while becoming increasingly obsessed with the young boy Tadzio. If restraint is at the centre of Schöpflin’s performance, it is not without feeling and passion.

In der Hauptpartie überzeugt Anna Alàs i Jove sowohl schauspielerisch als auch mit sängerischer Ausstrahlung.
