It's not Christmas without Handel's Messiah, and in the delightful Smith Square Hall, the oratorio is given a staging by Wild Arts which may not completely convince, but moves nonetheless.

A new production of Humperdinck's charming fairy-tale opera is always to be welcomed, particularly when performed with such enthusiasm by the students of the Royal College of Music.

La mise en scène de Julien Duval s'empare du chef-d'œuvre de Mozart selon une approche psychologique, minimaliste, mais qui n'oublie ni la subtilité ni l'humour.
