Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Edward Saklatvala

Last night, Glyndebourne presented Mozart’s Die Entführung aus dem Serail at the Proms, a tale of intrigue in a Turkish harem. At Grimeborn Festival, a grungy, hip East End alternative, we had the genuine article: Gariné, an opera buffa by Turkish/Armenian composer Dikran Tchouhadjian.

Notable for its excellent instrumentation, Possession! interleaves two letter-writing couples in (doomed) love, but despite everyone's best efforts, largely fails to get off the ground.
