Michele Mariotti triumphs in Rossini’s masterpiece with a good cast led by Salome Jicia and a new production, only partially successful.

Peter Seiffert can still impress as Tristan, but Graham Vick's staging is uncertain and unconvincing. 

The Magic Flute's roots in popular theatre come through most strongly throughout Vick's production, which sparkles with a wealth of witty detail. But treatment of the work's socio-political undercurrents doesn't work nearly as well.

Birmingham Opera Company’s production of Mittwoch aus Licht, Karlheinz Stockhausen’s six-hour sonic exploration of light, love, and the boundlessness of the human imagination, was a triumph from start to finish, and an unforgettable experience. Graham Vick’s spectacular production fostered a sense of child-like wonder that continued unabated throughout the night.

La presentación de La flauta mágica de Vick en Les Arts prometía una intensidad subversiva que resultó tan solo una sucesión de clichés trasnochados.

On attendait beaucoup de cette production du Roi Arthus de Chausson à l'Opéra de Paris mais force est de reconnaître que cette redécouverte ne fut qu’un demi-succès ou plutôt même un demi-échec.
