Reviews
“Pablo Heras-Casado inspired an unleashed performance” and “spurs the orchestra on to vital, precise playing.” Der Standard, for Die Walküre
“Pablo Heras-Casado makes a fine impression at his debut at the National Theatre, initially as a sensitive accompanist… The Spanish maestro gradually increases the intensity… A virtuoso balancing act… A return by the Spaniard will hopefully not be too long in coming.”
“Pablo Heras-Casado, at the helm of the well-rehearsed State Opera Orchestra, leads the ensemble of singers and dancers perfectly—indeed, with flying colors—through Lauwers’s monumental vanity fair.”
