En direct, Vidéo: Rechercher des critiques de musique classique, opéra et ballet | Brel

Des mélodies de Duparc à « Quand on n’a que l’amour » de Brel en passant par Puccini, le ténor franco-suisse a montré l'étendue de ses capacités, bien accompagné par Qiaochu Li au piano.

Le pianiste a livré un récital de rêve dans un programme à son image, qui associait Rameau et Mozart en première partie et un florilège de chansons françaises revisitées après l'entracte.

An evening of outstanding dancing from the Royal Ballet School and the School of American Ballet. It was a case of spotting tomorrow’s stars in a beautifully balanced programme.

Two world premieres and a piece created in 1975. Tharp herself came onstage to raucous applause. She might be “pop dance”, but audiences love it.

Two stimulating world premieres from Dwight Rhoden and Jenn Freeman, plus outstanding dancing, as always, from the powerful dancers of Complexions Contemporary Ballet at the Joyce Theater. 

The first-ever visit to the UK by Astana Ballet showcased a mixed bag of modern work in the Linbury Theatre. 

Ballett Zürich’s Junior Ballet, fifteen members strong from ten different nations, recently wowed an enthusiastic audience with a varied programme of five modern choreographers’ works.

With a witty and adventurous program and dazzling performances of each song, Stephanie Blythe and Warren Jones did not disappoint.

Parisian romance from Opera North for Valentine's Day, from La bohème to Orpheus via café chansons. 

The company is called Heels Over Head and on Friday night I fell head over heels in love with their performance, Jacques Brel in Song and Dance. Using a combination of visuals, song, dance and theatre, four multi-talented girls celebrated the works of Belgian chansonnier Jacques Brel and brought early 20th-century continental Europe to the Cumbernauld Theatre in North Lanarkshire.

It’s not every evening that you hear a composition played on two serrated Nigerian Fanta bottles. Nor is it every evening that you hear pieces by Schumann and David Byrne (formerly of Talking Heads) in the same concert. Nor, for that matter, do cellists often sing. As this concert’s title suggested, ‘Uncharted’ at Kings Place was very much a trip into the unknown.
