Four down, three to go: Le Balcon’s accomplished staging of Stockhausen's Licht cycle reaches its most problematic instalment.

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.

La création signée Arthur Lavandier et Frédéric Blondy puise dans un imaginaire où voisinent Zappa, Lynch et Aperghis, et la magie finit par opérer au-delà des références.
