VAN Magazine about “Tannhäuser” in Berlin

Albrecht Selge from the German VAN Magazine published a rave review about “Tannhäuser” at the Deutsche Oper Berlin. You can find an English translation of part of the article and a link to the complete review in German here below.

“In this Tannhäuser performance, too, I am captivated by the very lively sound and the melos that Inkinen leads the orchestra to. The warmth of the strings, the majesty and clarity of the wind instruments, the dramatic quality of everything, and always a great support towards the singers: what the orchestra of the Deutsche Oper does under Pietari Inkinen’s baton is, for me, one of the strongest Wagner performances I have experienced at this house in years.”
