Performer: Symfonisch Orkest Opera Ballet Vlaanderen

In Rites, Opera Ballet Vlaanderen confirm its status as a leading contemporary dance company with a formidable triple bill, technically demanding for both dancers and orchestra.

Digital projections make Opera Ballet Vlaanderen’s Parsifal seem alienating and strange, but the singing is terrific and the orchestra sounds sensational.

Estonia has produced some remarkable musicians, among them Anu Tali, Kristiina Poska and Maria Seletskaja, who have each found their own path to an international conducting career.
