Triptych: Bikes and Rabbits (Alice Allart)

HGO serve up a treat with La bohème redux

David Karlin, 9th November

La bohème may not seem the obvious choice for a very small theatre, but HGO carry it off with aplomb, with the help of Rodolfo sung by a star in the making.

Singing triumphs: Monteverdi's Poppea, Hampstead Garden Opera

Charlotte Valori, 12th May

A musically sensitive account of Monteverdi’s Poppea, with simple staging and 1950s costumes, sees singing triumph noticeably over the relative theatrical inexperience of HGO’s talented young cast.

Tragic tears of a clown: Cav and Pag at Hampstead Garden Opera

David Karlin, 14th May

Benjie del Rosario ignites a thrilling Pagliacci, while Cavalleria rusticana is potentially as good but marred by intelligibility and balance issues.

My Fierce Ignorant Step, un grand pas pour Papadopoulos

Julie Jozwiak, 24th May

On savait que l'art du chorégraphe grec était électrisant mais il devient carrément fiévreux dans sa dernière création, interprétée avec ardeur par sa compagnie The Lion and the Wolf.

Les Affamés de Marion Motin manquent de substance au Châtelet

Iris Régnier, 21st May

La dernière création de la danseuse et chorégraphe, difficile à comprendre, laisse perplexe.

Requiem(s) de Preljocaj, trop-plein d'émotions sensible et confus

Julie Jozwiak, 6th May

Mettant en scène une multitude de représentations du deuil, le spectacle offre un patchwork contrasté et inégal, avec des moments bouleversants comme des enchaînements décousus.
