En direct, Vidéo: Rechercher des critiques de musique classique, opéra et ballet | Paul Bunyan

The American Dream hits Ally Pally in a vivacious performance of Britten's eclectic operetta, headlined by an ENO chorus who knock it out of the park.

Not since Monty Python has there been more fun with a chorus of lumberjacks.

Brigitte Fassbaender inszeniert im Bockenheimer Depot Brittens erste, lange vergessene Oper als klug unterhaltende Satire mit zielsicheren Pointen, hochmotiviertem Ensemble und einem Orchester unter erschwerten Bedingungen.

Paul Bunyan is something of an oddity in Benjamin Britten’s oeuvre; a satirical operetta (with a libretto by W.H. Auden) about pioneers in America who are led by a gigantic lumberjack. 

Wit is the ruling spirit of British Youth Opera’s delectable production of Benjamin Britten and W.H. Auden’s operetta Paul Bunyan, directed by Will Kerley.
