Opéra Magazine's 'pick of the month' for February 2023

Posted

It's weird. I was away for all of six weeks over Christmas and the New Year. In my letterbox, on my return, there was no January issue of Opéra Magazine, and I don't know if they actually published one*. But now the February edition is here, it contains only three CD reviews, and none at all of DVDs...

Their pick of the month, with a 'Diamond' award for outstanding achievement, is what they like to call a 'reference' version of Lully's Psyché: 'Yet again, Christophe Rousset strikes a masterly blow in his cycle of Lully operas.' This version, they say, on, Château de Versailles Spectacles, outclasses its rival, dating back to 2007.


*Edit. They didn’t, as an omniscient mussel in Alabama pointed out.

All production photos: Guergana Damianova/ONP Last year, the ever-excellent Palazzetto Bru Zane issued a new recording, under Christophe Rousset and with a strong case, of La Vestale . As it's considered a historically important work, I dutifully listened, more than once, but it didn't click at the time. Still, when it popped up in the Paris Opera's season, in a brand new production (albeit by Lydia Steier - not exactly, based on her Salome , a positive pointer), I bought tickets. I'm glad I did because, despite some misgivings I'll outline below, having...

A century on, director Christophe Coppens and conductor Ouri Bronchti reveal just how much more there is to the work than its trademark aria "Nessun dorma". Coppens sets his version of Turandot in modern-day Hong Kong, where a wealthy family is corrupted by power...

Photos: Vincent Pontet I no longer have a subscription at the TCE, having decided, after several years there, it hadn't been good value for money. But an opera expert I know said he thought the cast of this Giulio Cesare was 'intriguing' and a friend who's a Händel fan wanted to see it, so along I went with him. I guess what was 'intriguing' about it was the mix of vocal stars with others already  marked out as promising, and Jaroussky conducting a staged opera for the first time from the pit. T...
