Neue Kritikenmehr...
Die Wahrheit liegt in der Musik: Dido and Aeneas an der Royal Academy
Ein ausdrucksstarkes Dirigat von Elizabeth Kenny und ein grandioses Sängerensemble beeindrucken in London.
The Royal Academy's Carmen has too many what-if moments
Presenting a work like Carmen is a punchy move by a conservatoire. The Royal Academy of Music's production has conceptual weaknesses, but features some good singing.
Sacred and profane in Guildhall School's Respighi double bill
From the spiritual conversion of a Medieval sex-worker, to the Sleeping Beauty tale reimagined, Guildhall stages a Respighi double-bill.
Strauss à la Fellini: Ariadne auf Naxos at Opera North
Rodula Gaitanou sets Richard Strauss and Hugo von Hofmannsthal's comedy in the Cinecittà film studios of the 1950s.
Food for thought: Birtwistle’s The Last Supper
An excellent performance of Sir Harrison Birtwistle’s The Last Supper receiving its Scottish première, with Roderick Williams and Susan Bickley heading a luxury cast.
A cruel Così fan tutte at West Green House
Newlyn's updating of the opera to the Second World War was effective, while a superb Despina from Soraya Mafi gave the performance real fizz.
