REPORTS
I Capuleti e I Montecchi, Bayerische Staatsoper, München 12. May 2012
By Herbert 

The first of five performances of "I Capuleti e i Montecchi" at the Bayerische Staatsoper in Munich was a triumph for the two protagonists Anna Netrebko and Vesselina Kasarova. But the male singers - Dimitri Pittas (Tebaldo), Ante Jerkunica (Capellio), Paul Gay (Lorenzo) - and the musical director Yves Abel as well as the chorus deserved a lot of applause, too.

Anna, in a short white opulent dress (created by French fashion designer Christian Lacroix) and with long dark hair, looked and played like the 15-year-old girl she had to embody. Director Vincent Boussard asked a lot of her. For example she had to sing while she was balancing on a wash basin (the only weird idea in this production), but she mastered everything! Her voice was fabulous, and I always wonder how she can switch to sing a whole opera after the concert in Baden-Baden and the two Russian recitals in Paris and Vienna. Anyway, "yes, she can"!

A funny scene at curtain calls: When Anna left the stage, she didn't walk, but ballet danced like in "Swan Lake".
