Wozzeck is definetely not among my favorite opera and I had to learn to appreciate the style of music that Alan Berg does . It is very dark and harrowing opera, with an interesting title role. Sets and costumes do fit the opera, but could have been a bit better. Elsa van der Heever as Mary was the best thing about this performance. Her singing and acting were very good. Peter Mattei as Wozzeck was good. There should have been a bit more despair and more chemistry between Marie and Wozzeck. The final scene usually hits, but this time it did not. Overall, not the best Wozzeck for me. Could have hit more.6/10.
