Patrick Woodroffe / Arvostelut

Jessye Norman had the stage all to herself as she opened the season of the Theatre du Chatelet as "the woman" in two one-acters about a woman in the process of losing her mind because she is losing her man. Schoenberg's "Erwartung" consists of the hysterical ravings of a woman stumbling through a forest in search of her lover, whom she finally finds shot to death by her rival.

C’est sur une véritable soirée de gala que s’est ouverte la saison 2002-2003 du Théâtre du Châtelet, qui accueillait pour la seconde fois consécutive en ce même cadre, la majestueuse Jessye Norman.
