Performer: Basel Sinfonietta

A quartet of contemporary works in Basel, with Rebecca Saunders' traces proving shocking, but cohesive.

Elena Langer's gorgeous and tongue-in-cheek Figaro Gets a Divorce shines in Geneva, despite David Pountney's boxy libretto. 

Based on the ancient tragedies by Aeschylus, Oresteia makes a great case for composer Iannis Xenakis’s concept of “total theatre”.
