Donizetti's Belisario at the Barbican

A new edition of Puccini's score springs to life in a meticulously prepared Opera Rara concert performance at the Barbican. 

This is the 27th Donizetti opera given the Opera Rara treatment and their ability to spot a hidden gem remains as adroit as ever. 

A youthful Bellini opera able to stand on its own two feet? Perhaps not, as Adelson e Salvini gets the Opera Rara treatment. 

Offenbach’s wrongfully neglected masterpiece has returned to us at last, thanks to the concerted efforts of Opera Rara, the Orchestra of the Age of the Enlightenment and Sir Mark Elder; and, above all, because of the tireless, lifelong devotion of one man: Jean-Christophe Keck.

Auf Einladung von Migros-Kulturprozent-Classics präsentierte das britische Top-Orchester unter seinem Chefdirigenten Sakari Oramo in drei Schweizer Städten sämtliche sieben Symphonien von Jean Sibelius.

Das britische Orchester beweist, wie uns zeitgenössische Kompositionen vor allem in Verbindung mit zum Nachdenken anregenden Texten inspirieren können.
