Billy Budd triunfa en Madrid gracias a una orquesta inspirada, un reparto sólido y un dream team de magos de la escena

Toujours aussi riche en boules à facettes et autres bottes de cowboy, cette reprise de la production de 2021 signée Vincent Huguet brille également par sa distribution des rôles féminins.

In a setting that might be The Grange itself, a production which steadily tightens its grip until a blistering finish.

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. 

The Teatro dell'Opera opens its season with the world premiere of Giorgio Battistelli and Ian Burton's new Shakespearean work, under the baton of Daniele Gatti and the direction of Robert Carsen.

Comic opera can fall flat, but if The Grange Festival's new production of Verdi's final masterpiece is a total delight, with a strong concept and a strong cast. This is country-house opera at its best.
