Intérprete: Joshua Ellicott

Benedikt von Peter's new staging of Bach's St Matthew Passion premieres at the Deutsche Oper Berlin, under Alessandro De Marchi. But despite the good synergy between director and conductor and a first-rate vocal ensemble, the production falls somewhat flat.

An outstanding performance from Christina Pluhar's army of generals, but a flawed Barbican live stream. 

Benjamin Britten’s 1948 cantata communicates with more invention and originality than recent works by Tabakova and Rutter.

Malgré d'excellents Talens Lyriques, cette Passion mise en scène par Calixto Bieito s'avère plutôt convenue et ne renouvelle guère l’approche de l’œuvre.

Promoting Leonore, the original version of Beethoven's Fidelio, René Jacobs made several choices of his own, only some of them justifiable.
