Maybe not gay art per se, but
the new production of Gluck’s Armida at the
Komische Oper in Berlin is certainly of a
homoerotic interest. With 70 totally naked men
on stage surrounding the female singer in a
beautiful and dreamlike scenography, Calixto
Bieto keeps securing his name as opera
direction’s bad boy. The production gets a mix
of shocked and enthusiastic reviews - if you’re
in Berlin this spring it would probably be worth
your while to check it out.
