![]() ![]() ![]() No spoilers here, but it’s an ending that gets it just right: a wink after an evening of punches. It’s already a supreme evening, and then Thomas adds a naughty little sting to the dramatic tail. Taking us from haughty pride to mesmerising sexual domination, Booth is never less than in command, and never more so than in “Qual guerriero” – the Olympian, extreme-sport of an aria that, here, becomes a barnstorming Act I closer. Id have to side with the Red Priest on his choice of. His querulous countertenor plays nicely off the pristine precision of Eric Jurenas’s (Andronico) as well as the ferocious, dark beauty of Niamh O’Sullivan’s mezzo – her Asteria no damsel in distress.Īnd then there’s soprano Claire Booth as Irene, Princess of Trebizond, Tamerlano’s rejected bride-to-be. Vivaldis opera Bajazet tells the same tale of love redeemed by a fathers death as Handels Tamerlane. Picking up where the pit’s raucous natural horns leave off is James Laing’s Tamerlano, a rolling-eyed thug with a mullet and a morphine addiction, prowling and leering his way around the stage. The cast aren’t left out of the fun either. ![]() Legendary pianist Mitsuko Uchida didn't disappoint in this bold Beethoven concert 07 April, 2023 Yaeji's With a Hammer is a low-tempo, thoughtful album of rage 07 April, 2023 The best music festivals to go to this summer 07 April, 2023 ![]()
