So, 'Rossini: Moïse et Pharaon' from the 2022 Aix-en-Provence festival is quite a captivating piece. The music really takes center stage, as Rossini's compositions are rich and layered. The performances, though the director's name escapes me, are powerful, especially the vocal work which just soars. There's this atmospheric quality throughout, enhanced by the staging and the subtle use of lighting, which adds depth to the narrative.
