Sir Simon Rattle and the OAE make Berlioz sound radically new
Simon Rattle and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment deliver a revelatory all-Berlioz programme, crowned by a sensational Symphonie Fantastique of rare clarity, colour and imagination.
A witty hotel Don Giovanni opens Blackwater Valley Festival
Tom Creed’s witty production at Lismore Castle delivers strong singing, sharp comedy and lively orchestral playing, even if the opera’s darker supernatural edges are somewhat diminished.
A noble Norma trapped in a hollow dystopia
Salome Jicia delivers a vocally impressive and emotionally committed Norma, but Orpha Phelan’s post-apocalyptic staging fatally weakens Bellini’s sacred tragedy.
Hilary Hahn’s French odyssey of refinement and fire in Dublin
Two technical mishaps punctuate the evening, but Hilary Hahn maintains poise throughout a French programme crowned by a finely judged, deeply expressive performance of Fauré.

Peter Whelan drew rare urgency and transparency from Brahms, while Carlos Ferreira’s lyrical finesse elevated Weber beyond expectation.
