Vienna has just seen two productions of Bellini’s opera in a week.
The Teater an der Wien had a brilliant cast – Asmik Grigorian, Aigul Akhmetshina, Freddie De Tommaso – and spartan sets.
The Vienna State Opera had Juan Diego Flórez, the Vienna Philharmonic and a dazzling stage design.
So who won?
Die Presse scores it 1-0 for Asmik’s team. The rest of the media mumbles about a goalless draw.
The result will be announced on box-office VAR.
