With Laurent Pelly directing, a very French evening sees a veritable feat of singing from Stéphanie d'Oustrac in La Voix humaine, followed by riotous surrealism in Les Mamelles de Tirésias.

Opéra Grand-Avignon presents Lakmé in a production that charms visually as much as it does musically.

Sultry Spanish rhythms and bawdy humour are counterbalanced by Gallic charm in the return to Glyndebourne of Laurent Pelly’s productions of L’Heure espagnole and L’Enfant et les sortilèges. Danielle de Niese joined a largely Francophone cast to ensure this joyous revival fizzed.

Laurent Pelly y Gustavo Gimeno dirigen una encantadora producción de La novia vendida en la que todos los intérpretes extrajeron la mejor esencia de la música de Smetana.
