Stellar Lost in the Stars at Glimmerglass Festival

La Ópera de Ciudad de Cabo trae a Madrid una versión sin demasiadas sutilezas pero rebosante de movimiento, energía y pasión.  

Good singing, incisive production and colourful choreography in The Mandela Trilogy make for many entertaining moments though inherent flaws in libretto and music fail to make it a satisfying, coherent whole. 

Kapstadt wagt den lohnenden Blick über den Tellerrand des Belcanto und zeigt eine Salome von begeisternder gesanglicher Leistung.

Whatever I was expecting from the European première of Mandela Trilogy, a musical tribute to the life of the iconic Nelson Mandela, it certainly wasn’t humour. Yet it is to writer and director Michael Williams’ credit that he has managed to convey what could have been extremely tense and serious subject matter with vibrancy and flair.

A world premiere opera about the Fisk Jubilee Singers, the intrepid troupe of African American singers who changed music history. 

Das außergewöhnlich gute Sängerensemble trägt diese aussagekräftige Opernvorstellung bei ihrer europäischen Premiere.
