Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Hannah De Priest

In a rare performance of Charpentier’s David et Jonathas, Jory Vinikour leads a small ensemble to the heights of religious art music.

Once again, the BEMF brings a Baroque opera back to life. Reinhard Keiser’s 1705 Octavia is exceptionally well sung, adroitly staged, designed and danced, with impeccable musicianship.

In der Lachmuskeln strapazierenden Inszenierung formationseigenen Gilbert Blins gelingt dem BEMF ein Opernspaß, der es absolut verdient, vermehrt sein fantastisches Unwesen treiben zu dürfen.
