Beginners' pluck: cast of first-timers in a first-rate Werther
Enea Scala and Rihab Chaieb impress in a concert performance of Massenet's Werther in Ghent.
Daniel Proietto's RASA premieres at Ballet Vlaanderen
An operatic deconstruction of La Bayadère in Ghent that has ingenuity and flair but is also over-stretched.
Magnificent Rachmaninov tribute from Lugansky and Denève in Ghent
Nocturne may not be your dreamlike, moonlit summer night stroll, but quite a grim-visaged journey, threateningly dark with the occasional shaft of light piercing through in powerful, sonorous tutti.
Rewriting Rimsky: a dismal Sadko in Ghent
Rimsky-Korsakov’s opera is rarely performed outside Russia. Sadly, I doubt that Daniel Kramer’s staging for Opera Vlaanderen will win it many new friends.
Andreas Schager triumphs in Bieito's Tannhäuser
The lack of shock value in Calixto Bieito’s interpretation of Wagner's Tannhäuser premiering at the Vlaamse Opera in Ghent could almost be seen as a disappointment. All the more surprising then was the romantic intimacy created in this superlatively sung production.
La beauté convulsive du Tristan de Philippe Grandrieux à Gand
Belle réussite au niveau scénique de la nouvelle production cinéaste de Philippe Grandieux à Opera Ballet Vlaanderen.
