Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Orphée et Eurydice: Dance of the Furies

Joyce DiDonato tient littéralement le Théâtre des Champs-Élysées sous son charme au cours d'un spectacle dédié à la Nature, parvenant à rendre cohérent un programme à la disparité assumée.

Pageantry abounds as the popular mezzo-soprano turns the Konzerthaus Wien into a sort of classical music, multisensory varieté.

L’Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment et la mezzo-soprano Magdalena Kožená ont proposé mercredi dernier au Théâtre des Champs-Elysées un concert-récital de haut vol, entre Symphonie n° 40 de Mozart et airs classiques.

Mozart's Symphony no. 40 gets the chop, split into four movements interspersed with arias sung by Czech mezzo Magdalena Kožená. 

Cecilia Bartoli and Sol Gabetta show impressive camraderie in Baroque arias.

The bicentenary of Méhul's death in 1816 was used by the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, along with the enterprising Palazzetto Bru Zane, to showcase his music in a varied and entertaining programme.

It is perhaps inevitable that a Greek Baroque ensemble on their first visit to the Proms would want to showcase a programme with a link to their ancient heritage.
