En direct, Vidéo: Rechercher des critiques de musique classique, opéra et ballet | Marie Šimůnková

Alice Nellis' staging of Purcell's masterpiece is both historically faithful and innovatively modern. With Collegium 1704 providing the early music chops, it's a rare treat.

The director drains the life out of an impassioned opera with a staging devoid of authenticity and ideas.

Superb singing and brilliant work in the pit can't quite rescue Jiří Nekvasil's overambitious production.

Barbora Horáková's imaginative updating of The Marriage of Figaro sags under its own weight at the Estates Theatre, Prague.
