It is not just the performance of "Le Rossignol" itself that is spectacular; all of the other elements are magnificent. The breathtakingly beautiful transition to Stravinsky’s surreal China.
The costumes grow more outlandish and the pacing more energetic as the opera unfolds, making it impossible to look away.
Soloists voices of great beauty with gorgeous singing enchant the audience. The music is insightful and beautifully played by Mariinsky Orchestra.
