“R.B. Schlather delivers a thrilling and, above all, intelligent production that makes the characters act as if randomly moved on a chessboard, manipulated by a higher power… (He) and his team have succeeded in an impeccable and courageous production, which was enthusiastically received by the audience after about three and a half hours.”
Magazin Klassik“Schlather shows how one can stay on the fun side without any fear, teetering on the edge between having a great time together and being ridiculed.”
Frankfurter Rundschau“Schlather is a master of creating stage magic out of basically nothing, which he again demonstrates in Amor vien dal destino. The action takes place on a bare stage covered in artificial green grass, from which fire pits emerge to underscore the opera’s more dramatic moments. Costumes suggest the period, with that of Giove, the king of the gods, the most most spectacular, with its magnificent plumed headdress.”
