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

Tokyo's New National Theatre is currently celebrating its twentieth anniversary season with three new productions and revivals of their most popular productions including Vincent Boussard’s minimal yet colourful Traviata.

A dark minimalist inspiration for Vincent Boussard’s co-production of the Boston version of Un ballo in maschera, returning to the Gran Teatre del Liceu after 16 years.

Berlin's Candide is a tour-de-force of dramatic, comic and musical brilliance.

When the Theater an der Wien’s in-house magazine featured an article about costumes created by none other than Christian Lacroix for this new production of Radamisto, I was intrigued by the pictures, but also a bit nonplussed by the idea that his gowns had been hand-painted in order to illustrate the different levels of Radamisto’s nightmare.

In the last few decades, Bellini’s I Capuleti e i Montecchi has flirted with standard repertory status, but it has not sufficiently won the hearts of opera-goers to warrant more than the occasional production. Though blessed with some of the composer’s finest melodies, the opera has problems for modern audiences.

La nouvelle production de Mignon à l'Opéra Royal de Wallonie-Liège fait surtout la part belle à Philine, dont Jodie Devos fait une prise de rôle remarquée.

Die Neuinszenierung von Bellinis I puritani wird dank der Sopranistin Brenda Rae zu einem unvergesslichen Belcanto-Erlebnis.

L'Opéra de Marseille ouvre sa saison avec une production d'Hamlet d'Ambroise Thomas encore perfectible mais également pleine d'éléments positifs. 

Crítica comparativa entre los dos repartos de la obra, una confrontación de la que ambos salen airosos.

Minimalistisch im Bühnenbild aber groß im Klang: Die Salzburger Osterfestspiele wurden mit einem gemischt aufgenommem Otello begonnen, wobei Röschmann als Desdemona durchweg überzeugte. 

Le monde musical toulousain poursuit sa rentrée avec le premier opéra de la saison du Théâtre du Capitole : Un ballo in maschera de Giuseppe Verdi.
