Dramatic shifts in music and movement style characterise Mario Schröder's new ballet about loneliness.

This Paris production of The Snow Maiden proves that director Dmitri Tcherniakov is today's greatest champion of Rimsky-Korsakov's operas. 

The sensational countertenor Franco Fagioli led an all-male cast in an extravagant staging of Vinci's Artaserse, a neglected Baroque opera,  at the Royal Opera House at Versailles.

A cast of five countertenors and one tenor performing an opera by Handel contemporary Leonardo Vinci may look like a long evening to those who don’t appreciate the high male voice, but Baroque lovers hoping for a triplet and trill fest as well as some vocal drag got all they wanted in this concert version of Artaserse.

Calixto Bieito deutet das Werk im Geist der heutigen Gender-Debatte. Und Dmitry Sinkovsky legt eine packende musikalische Interpretation der vor 20 Jahren ausgegrabenen Barockoper hin.

Orkiestra Historyczna und Sopranistenfestival begeistern gänzlich in dieser wiederentdeckten Barockopern-Rarität.
