Performer: Lada Valešová

With typical spirit, the students at the Royal Academy of Music did an excellent job in bringing Martinů’s Comedy on the Bridge and Alexandre bis to life – two lesser-known pre-war surrealist gems.

Julia Burbach's new production lacks poetry in spite of an admirable cast led by Samuel Dale Johnson in the title role. 

Pianist Lada Valešová was the anchor of the performance where Janáček's song cycle gets the van Hove treatment.
