Terracinis Antwort für die Kritiker

Jeremy Eccles, 21st January

Hätte Großbritannien Spaß an The Rabbits? Denn so allegorisiert die neue, australische Familienoper die Briten der Kolonialzeit, die in diese herrenlose Welt Downunder kamen und die Existenz der australischen Ureinwohner leugnete - die in dieser Oper in Gestalt von Beuteltieren auftreten.

Himmlische Latonia Moore in Aida

David Larkin, 27th March

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.

Alan Yu

The first concert Alan attended was Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde. For 7 years he presented classical music programmes for Radio Television Hong Kong, partly to pay his way through university. He attends concerts whenever he can and believes there is no substitute for the thrill of live performances. He writes here.
