Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Luciano Ganci

Although Karine Deshayes role change from Adalgisa to Norma is a work in progress, Luciano Ganci and Roberto Scandiuzzi shine in a staging charged with mythic symbolism.

A journey through the subconscious of the main protagonist Edmea, with Anne-Sophie Duprels as the eponymous heroine.

In a reduced concert performance of Il trovatore the drama unfolds with the force of music alone.

The use in the score of ancient musical instruments is what differentiates this work: pifferi, a lute, a “viola pomposa” give this work a distinctive flavour.

Without recourse to virtual reality or hallucinogens, Vick has created a suggestive, vividly surreal world where one's reference points are lost to the wind.

Robert Carsen's understated elegance on stage counterbalances Puccini’s highly charged melodrama. 

A very good production of Luisa Miller by the Teatro San Carlo, set in Naples itself.

In San Carlo's Luisa Miller, top notch performances from Luciano Ganci and Elena Moşuc lead a concert performance which show what a great and underperformed work this is.
