With an outstanding cast and Jan Philipp Gloger’s innovative staging, Bregenzer Festspiele's Tancredi becomes a fresh reimagining of Rossini’s opera, set in the world of organized crime and reframing the traditionally heterosexual love story as a queer romance. This bold reinterpretation is brought to life by Anna Goryachova and Mélissa Petit, whose performances capture the emotional depth and tragedy of their love. “The two women are sensational … both vocally and dramatically” (Augsburger Allgemeine). Under the baton of Yi-Chen Lin, the Wiener Symphoniker “throw themselves diligently into the opera’s multifaceted details“ (SWR). “Modern opera at its absolute finest!” (Kronenzeitung)
