Neue Kritikenmehr...
Himmlische Latonia Moore in Aida
Kamele, Feuerwerk und ein riesiger Kopf von Nefertiti: der Sydney Harbour-Inszenierung von Aida fehlt es nicht an Spektakel. Latonia Moore sticht in der Titelrolle heraus, mit guter Unterstützung von Miliaja Nikolic als Amneris und Michael Honeyman als Amonasro.
