Performer: Spencer Britten

Very few singers can hold an audience in the palm of their hand the way Brenda Rae as Marie does in this rollicking frolic. 

Director Claus Guth's new production for the Staatsoper Berlin is a bit of a mixed bag but the evening succeeds more on its musical merits, with a splendid ensemble of singers and orchestra conducted by Sir Simon Rattle.

A superb musical foundation under Antonio Pappano forms the basis for a satisfying new Fanciulla del West at the Staatoper in Berlin. 

Étienne Dupuis et Nicole Car ont remporté tous les suffrages dans les deux rôles principaux de l'opéra Eugène Onéguine à l'Opéra de Montréal, dans une production à peu près sans faille.
