So how did Vienna manage without Netrebko?

So how did Vienna manage without Netrebko?

Pretty well, it seems.

Lise Davidsen jumped in with ease as Ariadne.

Kurier praised the ‘Bewitchingly beautiful singing’. Davidsen, wrote Der Standard, ‘effortlessly sings her way through the role of the ancient mourner who awaits death on Naxos and is awakened from erotic hibernation by the dashing Bacchus’.
The rest of the top half of the cast were:

Bernhard Schir (Der Haushofmeister)
Kate Lindsey (Der Komponist)
Michael Spyres (Der Tenor / Bacchus)
Sara Blanch (Zerbinetta)
