America's young talent on show at the Juilliard's Cunning Little Vixen

David Karlin, 28th April

Generally, opera doesn’t give old age much of a look-in, but the closing scene of Janáček’s The Cunning Little Vixen, written in Janáček’s old age, is an exception, as the Forester muses on the passing of time and the renewing cycle of life.

La prodigieuse Voix humaine de Barbara Hannigan avec le Philhar'

Jean-Pierre Rousseau, 3rd April

Dans la tragédie lyrique de Poulenc, la soprano et cheffe subjugue, parvenant à tirer de l'orchestre un son luxuriant tout en incarnant à la perfection l'universalité de la souffrance amoureuse.
