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

Seattle Opera closes its season with an Ariadne auf Naxos that highlights the comedy but only fitfully comes to life in the opera within the opera.  

When an ensemble of strong voices extends and nearly expends themselves, pouring out their artistry in tribute to Mozart’s genius, operagoers will stand during bows—eagerly. That is precisely what occurred during Opera New Jersey's July 11 performance of Don Giovanni. The cast received a standing ovation from a packed house, deservedly so.
