The brainchild of opera director Monique Wagemakers, choreographer Nanine Linning and visual artist Lonneke Gordijn, this Orfeo by Nederlandse Reisopera is a thing of infinite beauty.

James Darrah stages Handel's sensual oratorio for Festival O, a feast of wonderful singing. 

The small, thirty-strong choir was the true star of the evening rendering Haydn’s contrapuntal mastery with tremendous conviction and marvelous cohesiveness.

Sung in English, a performance of Káťa Kabanová lacked the expressive power of the original, but exposed Juilliard Opera students to the marvels of Janáček’s musical style.

Un espectáculo de luminosidad e ímpetu, bien pudiera ser el resumen de la interpretación que Les Arts Florissants y su director ofrecieron en la primera parada de su gira con La Creación, de Haydn.
