Were it not for a sterling musical display, built on the shoulders of bass Ferruccio Furlanetto and conductor Myung-whun Chung, this could have been a very long night indeed.

Pour clôturer la saison, le théâtre du Bolshoï donne sa version de la Damnation de Faust de Berlioz, avec la complicité du metteur en scène allemand Peter Stein. Version respectueuse du livret et de la partition, qui cherche la beauté et la force expressive avant tout.

With elegant sets and superlative musicianship, Verdi came to life in the House where he is revered most. This musical feast will have us licking our lips for some time yet.
