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

La première du nouveau Vaisseau fantôme au Festival d'opéra de Québec charme par la proposition scénique originale de François Girard mais déçoit beaucoup sur le plan vocal et orchestral.

The Met's new Lohengrin descends into old-fashioned hilarity, despite an excellent cast. 

François Girard’s production presents the moody, stormy atmosphere of Norwegian seascapes with stunning visuals, but offers few fresh ideas on the doomed love between the Dutchman and Senta.

The Met’s production of Wagner’s Parsifal is a harrowing affair, entrancing in its refusal to charm. 

Before the music in the Metropolitan Opera’s new Parsifal starts, a black but reflective curtain drapes the front of the stage. It is dim enough not quite to show the audience, but it picks out the chandeliers.
