Flucht in die Schönheit: Oper Leipzig präsentiert Strauss’ „Capriccio“ als kostenlosen Live-Stream

Bei Jonathan Michie in der Rolle des Dichters Olivier bleiben ebenfalls keine Wünsche unerfüllt. Seine Deklamation ist makellos, sein Arioso betörend. (With Jonathan Michie in the role of the poet Olivier, no wishes remain unfulfilled. His declamation is flawless, his arioso beguiling.)
