The Chemnitz Opera produced Kiss me Kate as vital and
turbulent action. The American director Carey Kugler (for the first time in
Germany) knew how to set his ensemble into swing and how to keep them there,
from the dancers, to the chorus to the soloists.... The orchestra pit played
its role in the entract to the second act which the director used to
perfection. Every detail was perfectly timed, the stage machinery used to its
fullest. The principles were top notch, the diologues blending seamlessly into
musical theater that one seldom experiences. ....Short and sweet, everything
was a fitting part in a perfect and exciting production that the audience
enthusiastically celebrated. What more can you wish for?
