Too much and too little: Jan Lauwers’ restless Clemenza in Vienna

Chanda VanderHart, 12th March

The creative team behind the new Staatsoper Clemenza is unwilling to trust that Mozart’s opera is interesting enough to stand on its own.

Baroque modernity: Jan Lauwers’ Poppea at the Wiener Staatsoper

Chanda VanderHart, 28th May

Kate Lindsey’s voice is luminous, effortlessly regulated in every register, and intertwined magically with the gleaming soprano of Slávka Zámečníková, a very special new jewel in the Staatsoper ensemble who is every inch a star.

Sacrifice to passion: L’incoronazione di Poppea in Salzburg

Laura Servidei, 12th August

A wonderful cast conducted by William Christie in a new production of L’incoronazione di Poppea at the Salzburg Festival.

Göttliche Komödie: Ligetis Le Grand Macabre an der Wiener Staatsoper

Norman Schwarze, 14th November

Jan Lauwers inszeniert Ligetis Le Grand Macabre als durch-choreographierte Komödie mit hohem Unterhaltungswert.

Richard Jones’ clunky Samson et Dalila returns to Covent Garden

Dominic Lowe, 13th May

With Aigul Akhmetshina and Seokjong Baek in the title roles, there are reasons to be optimistic, but The Royal Opera’s revival of Richard Jones’ production is a mixed bag.

Reality television: ENO’s Angel’s Bone in Manchester

Lawrence Dunn, 12th May

Kip Williams and ENO mount an extraordinary new production of Du Yun and Royce Vavrek’s multifaceted opera, with performances of great emotional directness broadcast live on camera.
