In his revelatory production for Dutch National Opera ... Stefan Herheim
takes the theme of Tchaikovsky the outsider as his main focus.
Alienated from society on account of his homosexuality, Tchaikovsky’s
mysterious death – contracting cholera from drinking iced water,
possibly with the intention of taking his own life – is also referenced
in a staging that places the composer squarely centre stage. ...
Superimposing the composer’s biography on to arguably his greatest opera
works ingeniously. ... Musically, standards are extremely high, led by
Mariss Jansons’s inspired presence in the pit. The Royal Concertgebouw
play Tchaikovsky to the manner born, impassioned strings and glowing
brass to the fore. Misha Didyk’s baritonal Herman sounds stronger on
disc than he did in the house and he acts the unhinged gambler
convincingly. ... this is a terrific memento of a provocative but
enthralling production.
