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

A concert performance makes our reviewer at the Teatro San Carlo pine for a return to staged opera. 

A production apt for audiences who prefer a traditional, intimate staging of the most often performed of all operatic works.

Graham Vick stages his Marriage of Figaro in todays vulgarity, but he is not fully convincing.

Teatro di San Carlo closed its Opera Festival summer season with Le nozze di Figaro, which director Chiara Muti staged as a timeless classic

La Scala might not have had all the right cards in its garter Tuesday night to prevent ending up holding aces and spaces, but it’s hard to play without a full deck in the first place.

The gaily poor artists are called to adulthood and responsibility.

El escenógrafo veneciano plantea el trasvase de la trama a un contexto contemporáneo, la playa masificada de nuestros días, pero olvida en su ejercicio de adaptación lo más fundamental: preservar un adecuado equilibrio entre las afectadas aspiraciones de los protagonistas y el desengaño hilarante en el que éstos se ven constantemente envueltos.

Difficile exercice que celui du drame lyrique pour deux Prima Donna qu’est Maria Stuarda. Il ne fallait pas moins que le talentueux duo constituait de la soprano lettone Marina Rebeka et de sa sœur de scène l’italienne Carmela Remigio pour donner ses lettres de noblesses à ce modèle de bel canto qui n’avait pas été donné sur les planches de l’Opéra de Rome depuis 2006.
