El ‘No a la Guerra’ de Wozzeck en el Liceu

La alienación de un Wozzeck rotundísimo de Matthias Goerne y la crudeza escénica de William Kentridge hace de esta producción una de las mejores propuestas del año.

Oh To Believe in Another World: Shostakovich and Stalin on film

A toy-box of tyranny: Shostakovich, Stalin and Kentridge collide
