"Opera as great romantic cinema", wrote the Salzburger Nachrichten about the two one-act operas Cavalleria rusticana and Pagliacci, which were real crowd pullers and ensured record attendances at the Easter Festival. No wonder, because "Jonas Kaufmann, for whom it was his role debut in both cases, was in top form twice" (Daily Telegraph). "Kaufmann sings both parts so lyrically, with such an Italianità, softly with flawless highs, that it becomes a pure pleasure." (Kurier) Equally impressive are Thielemann, "the chief conductor" (Telegraph), and the Dresdeners, who "take their time for sensitive, melodious portraits of the soul and at the same time deliver perfect drama at the right moment. What we hear from the orchestra pit is sensational to the core Detail."
The film and opera director Philipp Stölzl directs and contributes to the great fascination of the performance: Stölzl divides the stage into several levels in which he doubles and triples the scenes of the crowd below, the private feelings above - the latter projected with cinematic close-ups.
Such productions, according to Kurier, "simply have to be described as world class". "Thrilling!" concludes the telegraph.
