En direct, Vidéo: Rechercher des critiques de musique classique, opéra et ballet | Daniel Mulligan

An inventive reimagining of this well-worn tale 

Ballett Zürich's Anna Karenina travels to Hong Kong (sadly, sans orchestra.) Nevertheless, the dramatic staging, score, and outstanding performances, among them mezzo soprano Lin Shi, prove dazzling.

 Zurich’s new triple-bill ballet programme bridges the 20 and 21st centuries with choreography by three different contemporary masters: Jacopo Godani, Hans van Manen, and William Forsythe.

At the Zurich opera house, ballet director and chief choreographer Christian Spuck employs emotionally charged imagery and highly acrobatic dance technique to tell the story his way.
