Moses in Egypt by Rossini, Pk 14 nov 2014, No (2014/2014), Režisēja David Pountney, Diriģents Carlo Rizzi, Simon Phillippo, Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff, United Kingdom

Our Chagall-inspired production is both vibrant and colourful; in stark contrast to the desperate, daunting task facing Moses and his people. We promise this: Moses in Egypt is spectacular. Rossini’s bel canto interpretation of the Exodus story harnesses music of huge scale and awesome beauty. Powerful and intense, it convincingly frames the miracles that the opera pivots around. It also lets us experience the unbelievably zealous relationship Moses has with both his maker and his people. We get to walk the journey and share the immensity of their desperate, daunting task. But it is never bleak. The Chagall-inspired production is both vibrant and colourful. As foreboding as the chasing, enclosing shadows seem, we know that freedom could be just one moment away.
