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

It was hard not to be drawn in by the romance and tragedy as presented by such a sincere, credible and vocally talented young cast and a conductor with such strong identification with the idiom.

Though occasionally entertaining, this production was ultimately unsatisfying as a stage presentation of Bernstein’s work. 

A superlative performance of Carmen that was certainly among the most thrilling performances New Zealand Opera has put on in recent memory.

A solid Magic Flute from the performers but marred by the director's foibles. 

A mixed evening, more notable for the efforts of the cast than for Brodie's modern Don Giovanni concept.
