Reinhard Goebel's Messiah with Royal Northern Sinfonia had good moments but the overall performance didn't convince. 

Sasha Waltz's choreography-heavy production of Purcell's Dido and Aeneas at the Sydney Festival is both intruiging and distracting, giving the singers little chance to shine.

Everything about Tuesday evening’s concert by The Theatre of Early Music at Carnegie Hall was intimate.Today, we associate the operas of Handel with music and drama on the grandest scale. However, the performance in Weill Recital Hall gave modern audiences a glimpse into how Handel’s audiences would have consumed this music in coffee houses, concert halls, and in the home.
