Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Roberto Lorenzi

La mise en scène sobre d’Allex Aguilera et la direction subtile de Maurizio Benini servent une belle production de l'opéra de Bellini, avec un duo d'amoureux parfaitement incarné par Rosa Feola et Raffaella Lupinacci.

Stricken by illness, the French version of Donizetti’s masterpiece is somewhat disappointing.

Michele Mariotti and Johannes Erath lead us into the caverns of Il tabarro and Bluebeard’s Castle with two stories of violence against women 

A new, musically convincing production of Bellini's last opera marks a welcome return to the Teatro dell'Opera di Roma, but Andrea De Rosa's staging lacks inspiration.

Gardiner's vivacious conducting of the Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia made this performance one to remember.

Britten's four lovers were costumed in quasi-contemporary, even glamorous manner, stripping to their underwear for the end of Act 2... so more Love Island than Ancient Athens.

The performance at Bergamo Opera Festival proved that L'ange de Nisida can contest the place of La favorite in Donizetti's catalog.

Lloyd-Evans' new production of Mozart's classic might be traditional, but there's no lack of astuteness in his direction of his characters. Problems in the pit hinder an otherwise strong musical performance.

Joseph Haydn’s opera Orlando Paladino was once cited as “a mixed salad of madness, mayhem and true love”. A recent revival in Zurich supports that assessment.

Pour l'ouverture de la saison de l'Opera de Lille, Antonello Allemandi et Jean Bellorini proposent une Cenerentola pleine de fantaisie et de mouvement. Une production très inspirée par l'univers cinématographique... et la bicyclette !

Theatre director Christoph Marthaler is renowned – if notorious – for his “off the wall” productions and adherence to bad boy antics. This Viaggio was no exception.

A rare outing for Giovanni Simon Mayr's Medea in Corinto at the Festival della Valle d’Itria in Martina Franca. 

A dynamic cast recently gave the Zurich audience the “stuffs” of Vincenzo Bellini’s tragic opera: the power of duty, law and honour.
