Au Theater Basel, le sacre de Poppée à l’heure de la Realpolitik

Romain Daroles, 23rd March

Le metteur en scène suisse frappe très fort en se livrant comme rarement sur ses craintes géopolitiques, dans une production qui fait de l'œuvre de Monteverdi un fascinant manifeste d’ascétisme, d’austérité, d’aridité.

Georgiana Hatara, 17th November

À la Royal Academy of Music, Semele de Händel offre une expérience jubilatoire et rafraîchissante. Mise en scène ingénieuse et jeunes chanteurs talentueux sont au menu de cette production.

Mark Pullinger, 26th March

Opha Phelan’s staging presents the action as a grand, Freudian social experiment. It’s a risk – but the production is lifted by outstanding performances from the cast and the Academy of Ancient Music.
