Med fare for å bli stemplet gammeldags og utilregnelig våger jeg å skrive noen linjer om den nye operasjefen Per Boye Hansens først valgte opera premiere i Den Norske Opera & Ballett (DNOB) den 7.september 2013. Boye Hansen skriver i Ingressen at György Ligetis eneste opera Le Grand Macabre føles mer nødvendig å oppføre nå enn å feire Wagners og Verdis 200 års jubileene. Av Claus Drecker.

Turandot at Torre del Lago, Italy
9/05/13 •
I must praise unconditionally the Puccini Festival, singers, the instrumentalists, chorus and all those who took part to this performance, because they made possible to arrive almost at the end of this opera, even if in emergency conditions. The performance was awkward and probably unique: the orchestra played only in the first act, then the instruments were cautiously put away and the last two acts were accompanied by an emergency piano. Review by Fabio Bardelli.
