En direct, Vidéo: Rechercher des critiques de musique classique, opéra et ballet | Stephen Langridge

Avant-dernière œuvre d’Haendel et seul de ses oratorios fondé sur un sujet chrétien, Theodora apparaît également comme le testament musical d’un musicien au crépuscule de sa vie. Cette nouvelle production retranscrit avec justesse son esprit tout en en modernisant la lettre.

Is Roberto Devereux the finest of Donizetti's four Tudor operas? Stephen Langridge's stylish, stylised production and a wonderful cast under Riccardo Frizza make a great case for it. 

Forced to shift to online for the third episode of its Ring cycle, Göteborg Opera delivers absorbing new production by Stephen Langridge.

Glyndebourne welcome audiences back into the house with a one hour Offenbach operetta whose comedy and plot lines are thin but which still delights.

Despite an excellent cast and some glorious singing, Stephen Langridge's oft-revived 2012 production of Puccini's Madama Butterfly never quite takes flight. 

Mit Ambroise Thomas' Oper über den dänischen Prinzen beginnt die Oper Göteborg ihr Mitfeiern am Shakespeare-Jahr 2016.

Eine Inszenierung, in der einfach alles passt: Mozarts Figaro in Göteborg übertrifft alle Erwartungen und bietet Unterhaltung auf höchstem Niveau, bis zum letzten Akkord.

With programming in the major opera houses dominated by Verdi and Wagner, bel canto fans have had a slightly thin time of it this year (Covent Garden’s La donna del lago is an exception). But others are filling some of the gaps, with Rossini’s Maometto II coming up at Garsington and Stephen Langridge’s production of Bellini’s I Puritani, which opened at Grange Park last night.

Revivals of 21st century operas on the stages of major houses are rarer than hens' teeth, so the Royal Opera were making a strong statement when they announced the revival of Harrison Birtwistle's 2008 The Minotaur, with the original director and much of the original cast.

The Norwegian Opera and Ballet seems to be developing a thing lately for staging Puccini operas as flashbacks and/or dreams. There is Stefan Herheim’s La bohème from last season, telling the story as part dream, part flashback from the viewpoint of Rodoldo.
