      The photo is from a production of Schönberg’s Moses und Aaron ten years ago.

    • Hispa-vox says:

      *Correction: it was a co-production Opera National de Paris and Teatro Real of Moses und Aaron in 2015, not 10 years ago.

    Great news. Spanish music is woefully under-represented in the US.

    This site should post a “not safe for work” warning.

  • Hispa-vox says:

    There is not such thing as Real’s orchestra. The orchestra hired to play in the pit is the Orquesta Sinfonica de Madrid.

    The photo is from a production of Schönberg’s Moses und Aaron at Teatro Real.

    Pretty standard (and not exciting) fare.
