Matthew Rye, 25 May

Oper Frankfurt's revival of Richard Jones's production of Billy Budd with a homegrown cast is a devastating combination of powerful music and searing drama.

John Johnston, 24 Jan

Camilla Nylund’s rich, ample voice bloomed in the glorious setting of the sonnet, cosseted by burnished horn playing, in Strauss' unsurpassed operatic farewell to the soprano voice.

Peter Connors, 21 May

Piotr Anderszewski played and conducted Mozart and Beethoven concertos with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe plus pieces by Bartók and Janáček. An ideal partnership and fine performances.

John Johnston, 20 May

Iain Paterson's house debut as the Holländer was sufficient reason to drop anchor in the Main for this revival of David Bösch's 2015 production.

Oper Frankfurt's new production of Rigoletto focuses on the dark side of the tragedy with excellent singing from the two principals.

Matthew Rye, 01 Apr

Debussy's Pelléas et Mélisande is beautifully realised in Claus Guth's now classic production, revived with a new cast of principals at Oper Frankfurt.
