Intérprete: Andrei Bondarenko

Lotte de Beer gibt Puccinis Oper einen neuen – feministischen – Anstrich.

Strong musical performances in a flawed and confused production revived for the autumn season at Glyndebourne. 

The Isle of the Dead and The Bells make gloomy bookends to the final concert of the season, but Mihhail Gerts makes a great case for both at the National Concert Hall.
