Performer: Reinoud Van Mechelen

Reuniting two old friends and collaborators, the Staatsoper Berlin presents a new production of Marc-Antoine Charpentier's Médée, with mixed results. 

Charpentiers “biblical tragedy” exudes energy, with Reinoud van Mechelen an outstanding David and fabulous period playing from Gaétan Jarry and his Ensemble Marguerite Louise.

Even outstanding soloists had to wait their turn in this Rolls-Royce performance in Aix-en-Provence.
