LOUISA MULLER

Das Rheingold

New York Philharmonic, 2017

Staged concert

​

One of The New York Times Best Classical Music Performances of 2017

​

"…the Philharmonic, Mr. Gilbert and the director Louisa Muller have stripped the work to its sinews. It is a stark vision—you might be reminded of Ivo Van Hove's scorched-earth approach to classic plays—that pares away almost everything but the music and the characters.…it was a remarkable evening of music theater." New York Times

​

"…by fostering interactions between the performers, the staging enhanced the theatrical effectiveness of the presentation." Opera News
