Leonardo García-Alarcón's exhumation of Bembo's work proves a winner, in a hyper-quirky staging by Netia Jones with Julie Fuchs as the pick of the fine singers.

Jon Fosse's bleak tale of alienation is graced with fine performances from a strong cast and excellent playing by the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra under Johannes Gustavsson.

Juliana Zara and Annemarie Kremer lead the cast in a riotous, yet deeply touching, new production from Nederlandse Reisopera. 

Le Nederlands Dans Theater 2 est en tournée à la Grande Halle de la Villette avec deux œuvres de tonalité différente : Out of Breath de Johan Inger et la création endiablée Bedtime story, de Nadav Zelner.
