Intérprete: Philharmonie Zuidnederland

A touring show on a frugal budget, but Opera Zuid's take on Offenbach's diabolical delights hits the spot in burning temperatures in the Netherlands. 

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. 

Ohne Chor, gekürzt und verjüngt – ein temporeicher und spritziger Liebestrank an der Opera Zuid.

The South Netherlands Philharmonic (philharmonie zuidnederland) introduced its new chief conductor, Dmitry Liss, in a demanding programme.

A performance by Leo van Doeselaar on the Concertgebouw’s Maarschalkerweerd Organ in Saint-Saëns’ Symphony no. overshadows all else in the Concertgebouw.
