Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Franc Aleu

Lluís Pasqual's production falls short of expectations, despite featuring a cast of opera stars led by the exceptional Anna Netrebko under the meticulous direction of Riccardo Chailly.

El Teatro de la Zarzuela estrena El caballero de Olmedo con música de Díez Boscovich: grandes voces y demasiada intensidad.

Àlex Ollé ofrece un buen espectáculo visual para una producción que falla en construir el imprescindible nivel de tensión musical.  

Fine musical performances blend with staggering video artistry in Aleu's spectacular science-fiction setting.

The production is a disconcerting combination of cold metallic future and Neanderthal aesthetics – a startling pairing of humanity’s beginning and its end. 

My preparations for a Thursday evening trip to Lincoln Center: studying the super-formula of Stockhausen’s 29-hour opera project, entitled Licht; choosing an outfit in the perfect shade of cerulean; girding myself for a panic attack similar to the one I experienced the last time I witnessed a section from Licht (Oktophonie).
