Thomas Guggeis, the young German conductor making his Met debut, is Kapellmeister at the Staatsoper Berlin and the designated Generalmusikdirektor of the Oper Frankfurt; pretty impressive for one who has yet to hit his 30th birthday! His Met debut was justly anticipated, as across Europe he is known as something of a Wagner and Strauss specialist. His performance was well-paced and well-colored and energetic. The score provides for enormous surges of energy and power, and the orchestra was certainly up to the task, but Guggeis’ rendition while quite good, was perhaps a tad lacking in thrills – the magnificent Wagner bombast was a little timid and the quieter passages were lovely but just a bit bland. With time and more experience with this orchestra, one can safely expect some exceptional performances in the future.
