Benjamin Brittens Tod in Venedig an der Deutschen Oper Berlin ist eine herausragende Neuproduktion von Graham Vick und Donald Runnicles.

Eine herausragende Premiere von Bohuslav Martinůs Julietta am Berliner Schiller Theater erntet stehende Ovationen.

Dieses Werk wird nur selten gegeben, und zeigt doch alle der großen Opernthemen: Eifersucht, Identität, und wie väterliche und brüderliche Liebe sowie andere Werte aus den falschen Gründen beiseite geschoben werden.

La genialidad de Robert Wilson se despliega en la forma y no tanto en el fondo, y esta propuesta no consigue que los elementos se aúnen en una dimesión emocional.

A grimly dark setting for Mozart's final opera, Sesto and Tito haunted by childhood memories. 

Concerto Köln, honed to perfection, and an accomplished cast star in Claus Guth's tense, dark staging of Handel's Jephtha. 

Claus Guth gives the Staatsoper Berlin a Turn of the Screw unlike any other.

What happens when a hero comes home? The exploration of this question forms the basis of director Peter Sellars’ new production of Hercules at the Canadian Opera Company.

“It is not his trial, it is mine, mine. It is I whom the devil awaits.” Richard Croft's Vere leads an outstanding cast in LA Opera's revival of Billy Budd.

Come for the singing, enjoy the music and bring your sunglasses: this psychologically charged Idomeneo at the Theater an der Wien is not to be missed.

Ancient Greek superheroes – irresistible. Half god, half man, incredible deeds leave Perseus, Theseus, and of course Hercules enough to rival Superman, Spiderman, and The Incredible Hulk. Small wonder then why these demigods and precursor of the modern comic book superhero have captivated the hearts and minds of many of the world’s greatest writers, dramatists and composers.
