Performer: Alphonse Cemin

Intimate playing from Sean Shibe, a deconstruction of Maria Callas’ vibrato and a deeply committed Boulez mid 20th-century masterpiece.

Eloise Lally shifts the Romeo and Juliet love story into New York mafia families. Jessica Cale and Samantha Price provide blissful bel canto as the star-crossed lovers.

The evening left you in no doubt that in Donnerstag aus Licht is more approachable than many would imagine, as well as being a major creative achievement that is crying out to be explored by opera houses.

It's typical that in the last concert in a series that has lasted seventeen years, we had a recital from a talented young singer with a growing reputation, a Rosenblatt classic.

Pour ses débuts à l'opéra, la metteuse en scène Lorraine de Sagazan s'emmêle les pinceaux et dessert considérablement la partition de Gluck, malgré l'abnégation des interprètes sur le plateau et dans la fosse.

Conférences, académie, concerts croisant compositeurs anciens et actuels, solistes de premier plan et étudiants de l'académie, le tout réuni autour d'un projet musical cohérent : le Festival Ravel est décidément un modèle de festival.
