Experiments in Opera returns with a strange story of resurrection

Soprano Gelsey Bell instilled a very human spirit into the role of the troubled widow. The decidedly formal Jeffrey Gavett was well cast as the dead man. Their duets rang with perfection.

La Messe en si crescendo de Laurence Equilbey à Toulouse

Emmanuel Gaillard, 7th April

Pari réussi partiellement pour la cheffe : malgré le haut niveau des protagonistes, cette Messe en si a commencé sur la retenue et n’a pas tenu toutes ses promesses, malgré une conclusion de toute beauté.

La générosité de Nadine Sierra au Festival de Pâques d’Aix

Irma Foletti, 7th April

Parfaitement accompagné par Bryan Wagorn, la soprano américaine a régalé le public, allant jusqu'à se démultiplier entre les différents personnages d'un même opéra !

*****

Le Quatuor Modigliani entre ciel et terre à Radio France

Pierre Michel, 4th April

De Kurtág à Brahms en passant par Beethoven, le quatuor a montré l'étendue de sa technique, définie par une homogénéité parfaite et une écoute mutuelle attentive.
