Le Rossignol

Saw two amazing performances. The first was an evening of Stravinsky’s music staged by the genius Robert Lepage called "Le Rossignol e autre fables" (The Nightingale and other tales). LePage used finger puppets, mimes and even put the orchestra on the stage and flooded the orchestra pit where the action took place. Here is a video of Le Rossignol production we saw (click on the 3rd diamond in the time bar). Gorgeous music. Very unusual staging, reminiscent of Vietnamese water puppets. Please enjoy.
