Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Ioan Hotea

Sir Bryn Terfel relishes every nuance of the text, but Damiano Michieletto's reading of Donizetti's comedy is no laughing matter.

Operalia is a curious beast among voice competitions. Step onto the stage, belt out your aria and, before you’ve barely had time to acknowledge the applause, the next contestant shuffles along the conveyor belt. A one-shot saloon. 

Encore une fois, la magie du lieu sublime la qualité des spectacles, avec en prime un irrésistible Florian Sempey dans le rôle titre. 

Jossi Wieler und Sergio Morabito zeigen die psychologische Tiefe Don Pasquales.
