Artiste: Opéra royal danois

Une distribution vocale de très bon niveau, un orchestre en excellente forme, une mise en scène convaincante : la nouvelle production de l'opus mozartien à l'Opéra royal du Danemark est une réussite.

Si la direction musicale de Paolo Carignani, l'orchestre et les chœurs impressionnent, l'ensemble de la production est plombé par une mise en scène caricaturale, tandis que la distribution laisse une impression mitigée.

Anthony Almeida and Rosanna Vize's deconstructed ghostly country house provides plenty of tension; fine vocal qualities are marred by poor intelligibility.

Contemporary opera has bounced back from the disruptions of the pandemic with significant gusto. We look ahead to several major operatic world premieres in the 2023–24 season.

Audiences, energy prices, politics, sustainability... With nearly 400 opera executives assembled in Copenhagen, the Opera Europa autumn conference was the ideal venue to take the temperature of the opera industry.

Opera Europa counts 220 opera companies and festivals amongst its members. Its Director discusses how the opera world is – or isn't – changing.
