Vivaldi's Catone in Utica comes to Paris

Massenet’s take on Goethe’s blockbuster novella of unrequited love and suicide is handled with great subtlety by Christof Loy and Marc Leroy-Calatayud. Benjamin Bernheim and Marina Viotti lead a starry vocal cast.

One of Handel's lesser operas receives a deluxe concert performance at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in Paris, with Il Pomo d'Oro and a fine array of singers. 

Laurent Pelly’s new production combines froth and hilarity with a dark, satirical heart; Marc Minkowski and the orchestra seduce us.

The French soprano delivers an A-list performance as the Egyptian queen, donning a variety of Hollywood guises at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées.

Si la partition d'Offenbach n'est pas toujours un chef-d'œuvre et a singulièrement vieilli, la direction de Marc Minkowski, la mise en scène de Laurent Pelly et la distribution servent intelligemment cette belle redécouverte.
