HOFFMANNS ERZÄHLUNGEN – Olympia

Beate Ritter was back on stage as Olympia, and anyone who thought that her brilliant performance at the premiere could hardly be surpassed was wrong: this evening there was even more freestyle coloratura, even more puppetry – you can hardly experience Olympia any better than in the opera house on the Gürtel, and you couldn’t wish for a better “warm-up” as a foretaste of the other acts (of which five were given).
