About

The “striking interpretation” (Neue Musikzeitung) of Jules Massenet’s operatic rarity Don Quichotte at Bregenz Festival, received an “unanimous jubilation for director Mariame Clément, her outfitter Julia Hansen and the entire stage team: a typical Bregenz Festival orchid flourished!” (Neue Musikzeitung Online). But this opera is also a musical discovery, not least because of the outstanding cast: “the balsamic sound of well-being of Gábor Bretz, David Stout’s mobile Sancho Panza is also wonderfully shaded” (Salzburger Nachrichten) and “Anna Goryachova impresses as Dulcinée with vocal clarity and scenic presence” (Wiener Zeitung).

“The Bregenz Festival discovers a dreamlike operatic beauty full of melancholy and farewell” – Salzburger Nachrichten

Reviews

If Clément’s staging is a touch sentimental, that seems a tactic most appropriate to this version of the story. Musically everything is well sorted and balanced under the baton of Daniel Cohen, who keeps a good pulse while never exaggerating the more choreographed scenes. Filmed with good attention to both the rhythm and geography of the production and well recorded from an audio point of view, this new set can be warmly recommended.   Mike Ashman
