En direct, Vidéo: Rechercher des critiques de musique classique, opéra et ballet | Hans-Joachim Ketelsen

Nathaniel Merrill’s production of Der Rosenkavalier opened at the Metropolitan Opera on 23 January 1969. Richard Nixon had been sworn in as President as the United States only a few days earlier. It is still in the repertory today, here revived with Edward Gardner conducting.

Even in the world of opera, Ernst Krenek is far from a household name, but this Austrian composer was one of the most prolific composers of the 20th century, with an output encompassing symphonies, chamber works, ballets and, perhaps most significantly, operas.
