With Ruggero Leoncavallo's rarity Zazá, the Theater an der Wien scored a coup with the grandiose house debutante Svetlana Aksenova in the title role. Christof Loy delivers a striking staging of the Verismo drama and conductor Stefan Soltez spiritedly leads the ORF Radio-Symphonieorchester Wien through the highly acclaimed evening. InchIt would take a whole newspaper page to praise all the performers appropriatelyInch, praises Der Standard. Of particular note is Svetlana Aksenova as Zazá who Inchsuffers the whole spectrum from intimate affection to raging jealousy and mute despairInch, Nikolai Schukoff (Milio) Inchshows himself as a daredevil and a depressed mournerInch, Christopher Maltman as Cascart Inchleads energetically and touchingly his already lost fight for his beloved.Inch An evening worth seeing and hearing!
