Una jugada a medio ganar: Píkovaya Dama en el Liceu
Regresa esta producción esteticista con una lectura tradicional, que consigue un estreno con dudas pero aclamado, pese a todas las substituciones de reparto.
Quand l’amour de l’art rend fou : Cardillac à l'Opéra de Flandre
Nouvelle production à l'Opéra de Flandre : le trop rare Cardillac de Hindemith, dans l'excellente mise en scène de Guy Joosten. Menée par le superbe Simon Neal, la distribution homogène contribue à la réussite de l'ouvrage.
Nostalgia and neurosis as Die tote Stadt returns to the Semperoper after nearly a century
In a score that can be a Technicolor wallow, Jurowski’s sure sense of dramatic pulse and balance, encompassed the brash dance rhythms, religious grandeur, vivid tone painting and the extremes of dissonance.
Rewriting Rimsky: a dismal Sadko in Ghent
Rimsky-Korsakov’s opera is rarely performed outside Russia. Sadly, I doubt that Daniel Kramer’s staging for Opera Vlaanderen will win it many new friends.
A lacklustre Maid of Orleans in Geneva
The performance bids for musical purity, but ends up stripped of story and emotion as well.
Andreas Schager triumphs in Bieito's Tannhäuser
The lack of shock value in Calixto Bieito’s interpretation of Wagner's Tannhäuser premiering at the Vlaamse Opera in Ghent could almost be seen as a disappointment. All the more surprising then was the romantic intimacy created in this superlatively sung production.
