Sir Antonio Pappano and the LSO offer a riveting account of Il prigioniero, an idiosyncratic 20th-century opera. 

Tony Pappano’s recipe for a concert programme: take a 20th century Italian one act opera, follow it with a romantic symphony chopped in half, then throw in a related German aria; play without a break. It may sound like a train wreck in the making, but the result was a triumph.

L’affiche regroupe dans un diptyque inattendu Il Prigioniero de Luigi Dallapiccola et Das Gehege (L’Enclos) de Rihm. Deux opéras qui posent les bonnes questions.

L'Opéra National du Rhin nous livre sa version burlesque et crépusculaire de l'Affaire Makropoulus, l'avant-dernier opéra de Léos Janacek, avec Marko Letonja à la direction et Robert Carsen à la mise en scène.
