Philippe Jaroussky as Ruggiero is in thrall to Patricia Petibon as the sorceress Alcina in Katie Mitchell’s virtuosic production of Handel’s opera from the 2015 Aix-en-Provence Festival, described by Bachtrack as “a night of a thousand delights”. Conducted by Andrea Marcon, this was, in the words of Opera News, “musically … a performance of the highest festival level”. The production of Alcina, by the British director Katie Mitchell, was welcomed by the Financial Times as “meticulously executed …, rich in detail, consummately polished”. As the New York Times wrote: “It involves a huge sorcery machine for turning people into animals (or whatever). And Ms. Mitchell works magic of her own onstage, constantly showing the enchantresses Alcina and Morgana alternating between glamorous public personas and their ‘real life’, older, private selves …There are also bits of simulated sex, mingling genders and suggesting, among other things, inventive new ways to hit high notes.”

Le Figaro described the production as “a thing of wonder,” while Le Monde called it: “A masterpiece ... the most exciting and consummately achieved show to have been seen on a Parisian stage in a long time … This was great work, magisterial and unforgettable.” “The memorable Dialogues des Carmélites at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées marked the climax of commemorative activities for the 50th anniversary of Poulenc’s death,” wrote Opera magazine of the production of Poulenc’s gripping and moving opera that was staged by the French director Olivier Py in Paris in December 2013.

Vera Nemirova’s challenging production of Berg’s operatic masterpiece Lulu won critical acclaim when first seen at the Salzburg Festival in 2010.

Singing Lulu with allure and passion is the lauded French soprano Patricia Petibon, whose charms grip an outstanding cast of top European singers.

À Versailles, musique et musiciens, omniprésents, rythmaient la vie de la cour, berçant même les couchers des rois. ARTE renoue avec la tradition grâce à ce concert-promenade qui redonne au château sa résonance musicale perdue. Se déclinant au fil d’une journée, la déambulation s'attarde en des lieux connus mais aussi oubliés... Le parcours s'autorise même certaines libertés avec la chronologie : pourquoi se priver de la magnificence de l'opéra royal, même si l'on n'y joua pas Rameau, ou du piano d'Alexandre Tharaud pour entendre une pièce de Reynaldo Hahn dans la galerie des Glaces ? De la chapelle royale à la chambre du roi, c'est tout Versailles qui résonne, là même où est né et a grandi le “style français baroque”. Outre Hahn et Rameau, les œuvres de Lully, Charpentier, Couperin et Michel-Richard de Lalande acquièrent dans ces lieux une singulière modernité.

German director Claus Guth´s Mozart-Da Ponte trilogy was concluded at the 2009 Salzburg Festival with Cosí fan tutte featuring a starry cast including Miah Persson, Bo Skovhus, Isabel Leonard as well as Patricia Petibon.
