Music Theatre Wales: The Killing Flower

Jaime Robles, 24th October

Music Theatre Wales’ production of Salvatore Sciarrino’s The Killing Flower begins in darkness. Michael McCarthy’s highly stylized production fits with the music, which is a fitting interpretation of extreme emotions: love that knows no control and no reason.

Music Theatre Wales: Greek

Charlotte Valori, 21st October

Greek packs a punch. Especially in Music Theatre Wales’ simple production, here at the Royal Opera House Linbury Studio Theatre. Mark-Antony Turnage’s music brings Steven Berkoff’s play to life.

Laura Servidei, 18th April

In einer Welt, in der Operninszenierungen oft ins Abstrakte abgleiten, bietet die „Tosca“ der Wiener Staatsoper eine erfrischende Rückkehr zur Tradition – und Anna Netrebko liefert eine großartige Darbietung.
