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

Stefan Herheim legt Händels Oratorium ins Wiener Café Central – verführerisch wie die Kuchenvitrine.

Händels bestes Oratorium mit fabelhaften Instrumentalisten, Choristen, DiDonato und Bénos-Dijan sowie einer weiteren luxuriösen Sängerbesetzung.

Projection proves a problem for the singers, but this Theodora at BOZAR is nevertheless full of musical and spiritual beauty.

La prise de rôle de Léa Desandre fait l’événement, tandis que la direction de Thomas Dunford marque une belle étape dans sa carrière de chef, avec un ensemble Jupiter aux effectifs renforcés.

La comprensión errónea del oratorio Theodora enturbia una, por lo demás, excelente producción de Katie Mitchell.

Pinchgut Opera presents magnificent music and a timeless ethical debate on faith versus sectarian difference. 

Superb singing from Joyce DiDonato and Jakub Józef Orliński lights up a curate's egg staging from Katie Mitchell.

Jonathan Cohen leads a sensitive performance by Arcangelo, with a line-up of five outstanding lyrical voices. 

Irene’s "Bane of virtue" was the first moment at which a singer’s performance met the measure of the work.

Handel's oratorio Theodora performed by Pinchgut Opera in Sydney was played and sung beautifully in a rather drab production. Kudos to the soloists especially countertenor Christopher Lowery and conductor Erin Helyard.

Les Arts Florissants' performance of Handel's oratorio Theodora presents true characters with an intense inner life.

Scottish Chamber Orchestra and Chorus were on top form, joined by a team of Baroque soloists under Handel expert Harry Bicket to produce a memorable Theodora.

Avant-dernière œuvre d’Haendel et seul de ses oratorios fondé sur un sujet chrétien, Theodora apparaît également comme le testament musical d’un musicien au crépuscule de sa vie. Cette nouvelle production retranscrit avec justesse son esprit tout en en modernisant la lettre.

Bringing together disparate art forms is no easy task, as Tafelmusik's latest concert House of Dreams sadly proves. 

Profound, fair and thought-provoking, Handel's Theodora argues for faith as a personal journey, not a political decree. The English Concert brought their rendition to the Barbican Centre in London.

The English Concert and Harry Bicket bring Theodora to Carnegie Hall, with Dorothea Röschmann, David Daniels and Sarah Connolly.

Saturday night’s performance of Handel’s oratorio Theodora at La Maison Symphonique in Montréal was magnificent, probably the best concert I’ve seen this season. Les Violons du Roy, La Chapelle de Québec, as well as a handful of soloists from Québec and England, all under the masterful direction of Bernard Labadie, brought this somewhat obscure work vividly to life.
