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.

Le Balcon, Maxime Pascal et un effectif pléthorique (notamment de chœurs d'enfants) sont à applaudir sans réserve pour la réalisation musicale de ce nouvel opus du cycle monumental de Stockhausen.
