En vivo, Video: Buscador de críticas de conciertos de música clásica, ópera, ballet y danza | Prudence Sanders

A wonderful staged pairing of Telemann's cantata for a dead canary and Bach's coffee cantata, with sundry other creatures, from Australian Baroque.

Jake Heggie's Dead Man Walking represents Freeze Frame Opera's best production to date, with a powerhouse performance by founder soprano Hattie Marshall. 

OperaUpClose have set their version of Verdi’s classic in the 1920s, with some beautiful period costumes and a few prettily observed production details It’s a big story on a very small scale.

Having arrived earlier than I anticipated for this evening’s production of Puccini’s La Bohème by OperaUpClose, I took the opportunity to read through the libretto, helpfully provided in the form of a thin volume available for purchase. When I organise concerts, I often provide texts so that unclear diction is better understood, but this evening I didn’t look at the libretto once.
