A Life On-Line: Agrippina from The Grange, Sadko from Flanders, Les Troyens from the Met and Messiah from Bristol
[…] time, with Bernstein's Candide and Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro to come; see the festival's streaming page for details. We have been continuing our exploration of the operas of Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov; he wrote 16 in all, containing some of his finest music yet they are woefully unexplored in the West. Flemish Opera produced Rimsky-Korsakov's 1895/96 folk-tale Sadko in 2017, directed by Daniel Kramer and conducted by Dmitri Jurowski, with Zurab Zurabishvili, Betsy Horne, Anatoli Kotscherga, Victoria Yarovaya and Raehann Bryce-Davies. It is a strange, complex tale inspired by a Russian oral epic poem, and as with any folk material there is a lot happening below the surface. Kramer's production brought it into the 20th century, and dropped the Russian background, concentrating on the work's dramatic undercurrents. Not everything worked, but Jurowski drew strong performances from his team, and it whets my appetite for seeing it live. See Opera Ballet […]

Battle of the network tsars
[…] younger mistress but wants a more beautiful, still younger one. The transformation of Johannes Martin Kränzle into this slick Gryaznoy is testament to his versatility. To the ear of this non-speaker, he sounds to be feeling his way carefully through the Russian language, but he meets musical and stylistic demands and is an energetic and imaginative actor. Stephan Rügamer gives Tcherniakov the understated, nerdy Bomelius the production requires. As the prosperous father Sobakin, veteran Anatoli Kotscherga appears to enjoy himself in the modern setting (elsewhere on DVD he was Tcherniakov’s Gremin and Dosifey). While his seniority is apparent and he struggles to sustain one low note, he knows how to put across the Act IV aria of concern for his stricken daughter, one of those gravely beautiful bass numbers without which no Russian opera is complete. The 72-year-old Anna Tomowa-Sintow, playing Dunyasha’s mother, now has a tremulous voice of limited […]
