REVIEW: The Festival d'Avignon Presents LE PAS DU MONDE By Collectif XY
Some festivals go out with a whimper. Once the excitement of the opening production in the Cour d'Honneur has passed, the remaining artists often present more modest, less foregrounded projects.

REVIEW: The Festival d'Avignon Presents BUNKER By Marion Siéfert et Matthieu Bareyre
In his podcast, political commentator Ezra Klein has examined a curious conundrum within the modern elite: the pursuit of extraordinary qualities divorced from their original purpose. Looksmaxers have become sterile in their pursuit of superhuman beauty. …
REVIEW: The Festival d'Avignon Presents THE LAST HAMLET By Ben Duke
In a BBC interview, famed director Katie Mitchell calls for fewer productions of Hamlet. She is tired of attending plays about “misogynistic, angry, depressed men.” I respect any artist defining the boundaries of what interests them. …

Madama Butterfly
Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and most comprehensive portraits of a woman in the history of opera—but also one of the most terrible, since it is a tale of humiliation and deceit which ultimately leads to death. From its advent in the 1890s, “verismo” had relied on...
Onéguine
