Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Grazia Doronzio

La Médée genevoise, entre le mythe et la femme outragée. Accourez voir le feu couver puis incendier le Grand Théâtre ! 

For his first collaboration with the Dutch National Opera, Australian director Benedict Andrews emphasizes the modernity of Puccini’s most popular opera.

A joyful atnmophere in this production, thanks to the colourful staging and godible singing cast.

The Canadian Opera Company provides a traditional production (that’s a complement) of Puccini’s La bohème at Toronto’s Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts. Its strengths are a well-sung Mimì (Grazia Doronzio) and Marcello (Joshua Hopkins), and fine directing by John Caird. The set design is very good except for the first act and the orchestral playing is sound.
