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

SKUTR's daring direction and Václav Luks's early music expertise combine to bring new vitality to a Baroque classic. 

A superb orchestral performance from Paul Agnew and The English Concert lights up a breezy and fun staging of Rameau's ballet bouffon.

In arguably its best production to date, theatre luminary Neil Armfield combines with Pinchgut and Erin Helyard for the first time to deliver this electrifying production of Rameau's comic masterpiece, Platée.

One has to admit that the 2015 vintage of this operatic Grand Cru, with us since 1999, is a particularly fine one. To be consumed with immoderation!

Bieito and Oper Stuttgart's Platée is a true riot, with outstanding vocal performances from Thomas Walker in the cross-dressing title role, and Lenneke Ruiten as a rock star, guitar-toting La Folie.

Harry Bicket's eclectic, Baroque-centered program shows the many side of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

Channelling Conchita Wurst in its starring role, the Early Opera Company's production of this rare Rameau opera is bursting with laughs and memorable performances from a strong young cast. 

A tremendous performance of one of Rameau's great stage works, but one that raised questions about the plot in concert form.

Out of the swamp: Marcel Beekman rocks the house in Robert Carsen’s glittering take on Platée.

Die Dirigentin Emmanuelle Haïm und die Regisseurin Jetske Mijnssen ziehen am gleichen Strick und lassen Rameaus Platée sowohl als musikalische als auch theatralische Komödie erscheinen. 

Quasiment deux ans après la fermeture du premier confinement, le Théâtre du Capitole offre enfin au public le fameux ballet bouffon, dans une excellente mise en scène de Corinne et Gilles Benizio.

Diesem wunderbar zusammengestellten Opernabend fehlte keine inhaltliche Dramaturgie, allein mit noch mehr Mut, Expression und Stimmung hätte das Theatralische dem Flair des Besonderen Rechnung getragen.
