The Pearl Fishers: Turin opens its operatic season

Renato Verga, 3rd October

The staging sways between tackiness and naivety, like those old Christmas cards with sequins glued to the edges of the figures.

In Turin's Trovatore, the women carry the day

Renato Verga, 10th October

Female voices dominate in the vocal cast: Rachel Willis-Sørensen debuts as Leonora and charms the audience; Anna Maria Chiuri has the temperament and rich vocality requested by the role of the gypsy.

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.
