Reviews - Stage Production 2022
"The program booklet is right: It really is a "Gesamtkunstwerk" (universal artwork) what the director and former opera singer Selcuk Cara has tailored to the heroic tenor Andreas Schager with "Fascination Wagner". The applause for the scenes and the bursting bravos want to take no end. Schager himself has to brake the audience to be able to continue at all."

Reviews - Stage Production 2019
"Poignant, dense, dramatic! ... Plays and sings as if in a trance."
NDR Culture
"For Selcuk Cara: reduction is one of the most powerful stylistic devices the opera world has to offer."
Hamburger Abendblatt
"Thus began a production of Udo Zimmermann's "White Rose" that impressed all the senses. If Zimmermann's examination of the resistance against Hitler's Germany is in itself a moving, even oppressive work, the impression is reinforced by Selcuk Cara's staging."
