Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Speranza Scappucci

An einem gesanglich enttäuschendem Abend waren Speranza Scappucci und das Staatsopernorchester das rettende emotionale Element.

Une première de l'année avec une œuvre fondamentale du répertoire, des changements notables qui marquent l'évolution du milieu musical : la reprise se fait sous de bons auspices, dans la mesure du possible, au Capitole.

Stefano Mazzonis di Pralafera's staging for Opéra Royal de Wallonie-Liège is stolid in direction, but Speranza Scappucci breathes life into Verdi's drama from the pit. 

An unlikely double bill of Mozart and Pergolesi at the Lincoln Center's White Light Festival. 

Stefano Mazzonis di Pralafera, artistic director at the Opéra Royal de Wallonie-Liège, presents at plucky new staging of Verdi's rarely seen Jérusalem. 

Alek Shrader was in control of his high cs and managed to play comedy while sending out glorious wafting notes of emotion and musicality.  

A visually striking production of Rossini's La Cenerentola for Washington National Opera.

A year of theatre refurbishment leaves Scottish Opera with only three and half full productions this season, so the spotlight turned firmly onto this Don Giovanni from director Sir Thomas Allen, designer Simon Higlett and lighting designer Mark Jonathan.

The third production to launch this year at Glimmerglass Festival is a pairing of two one-act operas spanning four centuries, entitled Passions for expediency’s sake. Presented in one bill, the works couldn’t be more different in style, presentation, and audience appeal, but they ultimately combine to make a unique and important artistic statement about suffering and love.
