Grâce au Démon : Rubinstein sort de l'oubli à Bordeaux

Stéphane Lelièvre, 3rd February

Histoire touchante que celle de ce Démon à qui un Dieu particulièrement cruel refusera la rédemption par l’amour. Excellente distribution et mise en scène idoine pour cette belle redécouverte proposée par l’Opéra de Bordeaux.

David Karlin, 15th June

Müpa's Ring sees all-round musical excellence for a third night in row, which will be remembered more than the various distracting miscues in the staging.
