Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | English | Opera Zuid

A touring show on a frugal budget, but Opera Zuid's take on Offenbach's diabolical delights hits the spot in burning temperatures in the Netherlands. 

Ola Mafaalani's staging is a feast for the eyes with creative and edgy lighting, a clever and expressive use of colour and a stunning visual display, but not everything comes off successfully. 

Young singers, musicians and designers in this Matrimonio segreto co-produced by the three main opera companies in the Netherlands show that, on the stage and in the pit at least, the future of opera is bright.

On a warm summer night, Opera Zuid closes its season with an impassioned, but keen production of La traviata in the Concertgebouw.
