Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Zurich Opera Extra Choir

That both the lead and a second key role were ill and couldn’t sing did not bode well, yet this performance of Verdi’s Un ballo in maschera shook up the house nonetheless.

Christian Spuck’s new ballet Messa da Requiem in Zurich, is a breathtakingly powerful achievement. But its profound impact is spurred by more than dance alone.

In David Hermann's new production, confusion reigns, but the performance is saved by the singing. 

Version concert très convaincante de la nouvelle production zürichoise de l'Enlèvement au Sérail, œuvre dont la portée symbolique riche en possibilités de traitements semble ici laisser tout l'espace d'expression nécéssaire aux chanteurs.
