En direct, Vidéo: Rechercher des critiques de musique classique, opéra et ballet | Colin Murray

Weill’s New York Street Scene is a successful ensemble end of year piece for the students of RCS, ably directed by Alexandra Spencer-Jones, Robert Houssart conducting with the orchestra on top form.

The gamble of Dealing with Death pays off for Holst’s Sāvitri but is less certain for Ullmann’s Emperor of Atlantis.  Opera students at RCS capture the mix of satire, surrealism and anarchy perfectly

Music, singing and movement blend together in a powerfully moving double bill of French Tragedy, Les Malheurs d’Orphée and Le Vin herbé  at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.   

Set during the First World War, this enjoyable Così fan tutte focuses on how tough shifting human relationships are for both sexes. In Nicolette Molnár’s production, it is clear that if all women do it, so do all men.

Driven by a folky score, and on a stunning set, the Glasgow Conservatoire students had bags of fun with this Merry Wives tale, positively bursting with energy.
