Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Yoko Yasui

For his new staging of Rossini’s Guillaume Tell at the New National Theatre, Tokyo, director Yannis Kokkos avoids specific contemporary references, choosing a setting that transcends the times. 

Philippe Arlaud’s production for New National Theatre Tokyo may not be in its first youth, but it delivers on all counts. Leonardo Capalbo, Egils Siliņš and Yuka Kobayashi lead an excellent cast.

Jonathan Miller may not be directing new productions of operas any more, but his productions are still being revived in many countries; in Tokyo’s New National Theatre, his Falstaff has just been revived.
