Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Eggert

M – a city searches for a murderer, by Moritz Eggert and Barrie Kosky, receives its world premiere at the Komische Oper Berlin.

At the Grachtenfestival in Amsterdam, director Lotte de Beer presents a trendy and upbeat take on Traviata, unfortunately marred by a dumbed-down arrangement of Verdi’s music.

I can certainly attest that this was the closest I have ever felt to watching a 3-D thriller in Dolby Surround Sound whilst at the opera.

Eine surreal-skurrile aber gesellschaftsunkritische Uraufführung, bei der es reichlich zum Augenaufreißen und -reiben gibt.
