Performer: Corinna Niemeyer

Miskimmon's relocation of the action to Ireland is unsparing in its evocation not of some tearjerking melodrama but of an almost documentary reportage on real events. 

Sir George Benjamin and Martin Crimp’s new chamber opera receives a powerful UK premiere in the Linbury Studio at Covent Garden. 

Conductor and organist prove their strong musical bond at Bridgewater Hall, peaking in Saint-Saëns’ Third Symphony. 

Oliver Mears' new production of Britten's chamber opera is a visceral reflection on tyranny and sexual violence.

Corinna Niemeyer conducts the Orchestre de Paris, which had never played Poulenc's Concert champêtre before, and had only given one performance each of the Sinfonietta and Organ Concerto. Incroyable !

La production vaut le détour essentiellement pour ses deux remarquables interprètes principales, Ruzan Mantashyan et Ambroisine Bré. Le reste peine à se porter à la hauteur de l'œuvre de Massenet.

Pour célébrer la réouverture des salles de concert, Clara Leonardi propose un petit tour d’horizon des cheffes à voir et entendre ces prochaines semaines, des jeunes prodiges aux talents confirmés.
