This revival of the Jürgen Gosch staging was a sad disappointment. Where the original had been a serious reading of the plot saddled with saccharine designs, this time the talented cast seemed to have been left with little direction. Così is an extremely difficult piece which novice directors take on at their peril.

Musically things were adequate, no more, with the uneasy feeling always present that this cast had the ability to do a great deal better.
