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

Das Auftragswerk Animal Farm wird vom Wiener Publikum mit viel Applaus bedacht und wirkt auch 80 Jahre nach der Veröffentlichung von George Orwells Klassiker zeitgemäß wie nie.

Alexander Raskatov und Damiano Michieletto verwandeln George Orwells Fabel in eine ungemein zeitgemäße Oper.

A full-sized LPO première a bewildering new mass setting by Alexander Raskatov that misses the mark and sits uneasily alongside Beethoven's great ode to nature. 

Russian composer Alexander Raskatov visits Ireland for a concert of his own works, including the epic string quartet cycle Monk's Music. A fascinating cross-section of the composer's work, well played to a sizeable and enthusiastic local audience.

Last night saw the UK première of Alexander Raskatov's new opera A Dog's Heart, performed by ENO together with theatre company Complicite. The opera, based on a 1925 novella by Russian satirist Mikhail Bulgakov, tells the tale of Sharik, a stray dog who is given the testicles and pituitary gland of a human by an eminent surgeon, the Professor.
