Cologne reopens its opera house after a 14-year refurbishment, but their new Rosenkavalier sells the performers and the occasion short.
Semele at Dutch National Opera: myth, desire and fantasy
Guth’s Semele turns myth into a contemporary domestic drama, where desire becomes obsession and illusion consumes reality. Handel’s music remains the true engine, driven by a thrilling, physically intense ensemble.
Emmanuelle Haïm and Handel triumph in Berlin
Handel's oratorio Il trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno receives its first-ever performance at Berlin's Philharmonie, proving that in the hands of Emmanuelle Haïm beauty can indeed defeat time.
