Teenage Mozart’s Mitridate a great success at La Scala
Christophe Rousset leads Les Talens Lyriques and a stellar cast in a superb rendition of Mozart’s first opera seria.
A forgotten meta-opera at La Scala: Gassmann’s L’opera seria
Christophe Rousset leads a great cast and an even greater orchestra in Gassmann’s 1769 rarity in Laurent Pelly’s visually striking, but oddly subdued, take on a comedy that thrives on chaos.
Fine Bach cantatas from Paul Figuier at the Festival d’Ambronay
Young countertenor Figuier gives an accomplished vocal performance, sometimes overpowered by the energy of Rousset and Les Talens Lyriques. Oboist Gilles Vanssons steals the show.
Jephtha: Handel's last English oratorio at the Halle Handel Festival
Handel's last English oratorio Jephtha is beautifully performed by Christophe Rousset and Les Talens Lyriques in Halle, although the drama is a bit slow off the mark.
Not quite a premiere, not quite a success: Salieri’s Kublai Khan
Martin G Berger exhaustively reworks the story and the libretto of Salieri's Cublai, gran kan de' Tartari and throws the kitchen sink at this new production, but not everything lands well.
Unhappy ever after: Gluck's Armide returns to Paris
Excellent performances and stage direction make a good case for an opera that's on the slow side dramatically.
