“[Director] Herbert Fritsch…turns “Le Grand Macabre” into a loud and colourful clownery, decidedly supported by Clemens Heil, the Music Director of the Lucerne Theatre. The giant percussion set, which masters the car horn and doorbell preludes magnificently, and the keyboard-instruments are spread all over the stage, the trumpets of Jericho are thundering from the balcony, and the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra is going all out with muscular brilliance.”
