Christian Tetzlaff conjures brilliant colour and ecstatic passion from Szymanowski's First Violin concerto in Ghent.

Two very diverse works that complement each other and show off the depth of talent within Opera Ballet Vlaanderen.

A challenging work about birth, death and rebirth, superbly danced and thought provoking.

Opera Ballet Vlaanderen are offering up the ultimate antidote to frothy Christmas traditions with an original double bill featuring two premieres.

This is a contrasting double bill – but don’t go expecting to leave the theatre humming the tunes.

Enea Scala and Rihab Chaieb impress in a concert performance of Massenet's Werther in Ghent. 

An operatic deconstruction of La Bayadère in Ghent that has ingenuity and flair but is also over-stretched.

Nocturne may not be your dreamlike, moonlit summer night stroll, but quite a grim-visaged journey, threateningly dark with the occasional shaft of light piercing through in powerful, sonorous tutti.

Rimsky-Korsakov’s opera is rarely performed outside Russia. Sadly, I doubt that Daniel Kramer’s staging for Opera Vlaanderen will win it many new friends.

The lack of shock value in Calixto Bieito’s interpretation of Wagner's Tannhäuser premiering at the Vlaamse Opera in Ghent could almost be seen as a disappointment. All the more surprising then was the romantic intimacy created in this superlatively sung production.

Belle réussite au niveau scénique de la nouvelle production cinéaste de Philippe Grandieux à Opera Ballet Vlaanderen.

Ein gesendetes Notprogramm, das durch die Idealistik Herreweghes ein eigenes Brünnlein an Klarheit und Eingängigkeit darstellte.

Vox Luminis gelingt mit B'Rock ein passender, königlicher Lobpreis zum Erwachen der Natur.
