Le Mariinsky à la Philharmonie : Iolanta plus russe que jamais

Clara Leonardi, 21st September

Une Iolanta plus candide que jamais, un orchestre du Mariinsky lumineux dirigé par un Gergiev imaginatif : l'opéra de Tchaïkovski couronne en beauté le week-end Saint-Pétersbourg de la Philharmonie de Paris.

The epitome of Russianness: Boris Godunov at the Mariinsky

David Karlin, 20th June

In Tarkovsky's venerable production, the Mariinsky orchestra and chorus are brilliant – but too brilliant for their soloists, including two replacement Borises for an indisposed Mikhail Petrenko.

David Karlin, 19th June

Rodion Shchedrin's opera mixes singing, choreography and storytelling to lend a potent sacred and mystic overlay to Nikolai Leskov's folk tale.

Netrebko takes on Adriana Lecouvreur at the Mariinsky

David Karlin, 18th June

Isabelle Patriot-Pieri's new production is a quirky mix of traditional and the opposite; Netrebko shows her star quality; Eyvasov impresses.

David Smythe

David the farmer was drawn into music through choirs, orchestras, taking part in and directing 'serious' opera as a student. Passionate about live classical music, particularly chamber opera, unusual pieces and events and giving the next generation the tools to engage with the classical world.
