Au Theater Basel, le sacre de Poppée par Marthaler et Cummings à l’heure de la Realpolitik

Von Romain Daroles, 23. März 2024

Le metteur en scène suisse frappe très fort en se livrant comme rarement sur ses craintes géopolitiques, dans une production qui fait de l'œuvre de Monteverdi un fascinant manifeste d’ascétisme, d’austérité, d’aridité.

Handel's Rodelinda comes to Göttingen a year after the planned centennial anniversary event, but is worth the wait with respect to musical values led by conductor Laurence Cummings with Anna Dennis in the title role.

Minkowski et Les Musiciens du Louvre à Genève : Mozart sous stress

Von Thomas Muller, 13. Dezember 2018

Marc Minkowski et ses Musiciens du Louvre étaient à Genève pour une soirée consacrée à la musique religieuse de Mozart. Une déception, causée par l'effectif vocal limité et une direction excessivement droite.

L'incoronazione di Poppea: cynical production, glorious music from Pinchgut Opera

Von Sandra Bowdler, 30. November 2017

Pinchgut Opera's L'incoronazione di Poppea is a glorious feast of singing, acting and playing but the production is brutal, taking Monteverdi's vision of corruption in high places to excessive lengths.
