Performer: Hélène Guilmette

Palazzetto Bru Zane, spurred on by the zealous advocacy of conductor François-Xavier Roth, has turned to Saint-Saëns' very first opera, Le Timbre d'argent.

Poor intelligibility and lack of pace in the music or acting make L'Étoile into a disappointingly flat evening.

Kent Nagano and the OSM came up trumps in concert version of Debussy’s Pelléas et Mélisande.
