Britten in the Rain: a Dream that charms in parts but lacks cohesion

Andrew Larkin, 28th May

Rain cannot wash away the charm of Britten’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Lismore Castle, a visually clever, if uneven, outdoor staging with moments of real enchantment.

Jörg Widmann leads the Irish Chamber Orchestra in an eclectic program

Edward Sava-Segal, 19th November

Soprano Claron McFadden's pellucid voice tremendously contributed to the structural and sonic richness of Widmann's Versuch über die Fuge.

An enjoyable Magic Flute from Irish National Opera

Andrew Larkin, 21st May

A thoroughly satisfying, entertaining production of Mozart's Die Zauberflöte from Irish National Opera. Anna Devin delivers a delightful Pamina and Nick Pritchard a convincing Tamino.

Fun and frolics at Irish National Opera's Figaro

Andrew Larkin, 17th April

A wonderful ful-filled caper by the Irish National Opera of Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro with Erraught as Susanna and Miskelly as Cherubino really impressing.

Le sacre de Lutosławski, par Marta Gardolińska et l’ONL

Tristan Labouret, 5th February

Le Concerto pour orchestre du compositeur polonais a bénéficié de la direction très convaincante de la cheffe et de l'application des musiciens de l'ONL, après une première partie moins aboutie avec Thomas Zehetmair en soliste.

François Dumont, Thomas Zehetmair et l’Orchestre d'Auvergne à Lyon

Beate Langenbruch, 28th September

Dans un programme Grieg-Schumann-Beethoven, l'orchestre a montré ses qualités d'écoute et de couleurs, avec un soliste particulièrement inspiré.
