Neue Kritikenmehr...
A deli-cious revival of Rossini’s Il turco in Italia at Glyndebourne

La Flûte enchantée universelle de Julien Duval à Bordeaux
La mise en scène de Julien Duval s'empare du chef-d'œuvre de Mozart selon une approche psychologique, minimaliste, mais qui n'oublie ni la subtilité ni l'humour.
Handel’s Ariodante returns home to Covent Garden

In his debut with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Gaffigan threads the needle between innocence and irony in Mahler's great work, ably supported by soprano Elena Villalón.
