Le Grand Macabre at the Barbican: surreal, madcap, touching the sublime

La cuarta ópera de de Kaija Saariaho llega a Madrid con el mismo reparto que en su estreno mundial y Davone Tines, Philippe Jaroussky y Nora Kimball-Mentzos en los papeles protagonistas

A challenging depiction of Joséphine Baker brilliantly performed by Julia Bullock under the direction of Peter Sellars at the Adelaide Festival.

This co-production, previously seen in San Francisco, is more of a semi-staging, convinces thanks to committed performances from a cast led by Fleur Barron.  

Œuvre signée Sivan Eldar mais en réalité véritable performance collégiale comprenant improvisation des artistes et participation du public, The Nine Jewelled Deer propose une expérience forte, autant intime que collective.
