I must say I have worked with some well known, crazy, talentless directors over the years but my time working with Kosky was one of the best experiences I’ve had.
Totally unconventional production of a repertoire piece but he loved the music, the story and respected the singers.
Sadly not often the case nowadays!
“Ich bin Berliner” is the correct German. They are welcome to Kosky. Oh god!!!
His Glyndebourne Saul was simply wonderful.
