An intoxicating fusion of mystic, sacred and profane: The Enchanted Wanderer at the Mariinsky

Sous la direction frémissante de Valery Gergiev, les troupes du Théâtre Mariinsky se sont surpassées dans l'œuvre de Wagner. Yulia Matochkina a marqué les esprits en Kundry.

Une Iolanta plus candide que jamais, un orchestre du Mariinsky lumineux dirigé par un Gergiev imaginatif : l'opéra de Tchaïkovski couronne en beauté le week-end Saint-Pétersbourg de la Philharmonie de Paris.

In Tarkovsky's venerable production, the Mariinsky orchestra and chorus are brilliant – but too brilliant for their soloists, including two replacement Borises for an indisposed Mikhail Petrenko.

Isabelle Patriot-Pieri's new production is a quirky mix of traditional and the opposite; Netrebko shows her star quality; Eyvasov impresses.

Valery Gergiev conducts the Mariinsky Opera in a vocally strong Das Rheingold, a promising beginning to Edinburgh International Festival’s Ring in concert over the coming years.

Shchedrin’s opera The Enchanted Wanderer is the complete opposite of shocking and director Alexei Stepanyuk’s staging alongside Valery Gergiev’s command over the Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra revealed something of a translucid daydream.
