Gounod: Mireille
Inva Mula (Mireille), Charles Castronovo (Vincent), Opéra national de Paris, Marc Minkowski, Nicolas Joel

L’Opéra National de Paris, Francesco Ivan Ciampa
Vocally, Damrau can run rings around the notes, but in this role that's not enough. Francesco Demuro makes a likeable if uninteresting Alfredo…best of the principals is Ludovic Tézier's Giorgio... — More…

Thomas Johannes Mayer (Moses), John Graham-Hall (Aron), Nicky Spence (A Youth)
Orchestre et Chœurs de National de L'Opéra de Paris, Philippe Jordan (conductor) & Romeo Castellucci (director)
