ENO's co-production of Wolfgang Rihm’s "Sturm und Drang" favourite is a qualified success

A committed production and performance

Andrew Shore is stunning as Jakob Lenz

Andrew Shore's Lenz stutters, roars, flutes and howls in solitary anguish

Applausi generosi da parte del pubblico della prima

Go, for a truly extraordinary experience

ENO sets an example in staging Wolfgang Rihm chamber opera

This production has everything to recommend it

No-one experiencing this production is likely to be disappointed by its dramatic veracity or impact

A curious historical pageant, uninvolving and rather slight

Admirable, but this production of Wolfgang Rihm’s 1978 chamber opera is found wanting

Under Alex Ingram’s direction, Rihm’s score comes to life with remarkable vividness

An intimate but clinical piece of theatre

A night of high drama

A new production of a contemporary classic captures Rihm's drama if not always his clarity
