The Canadian Opera Company’s season opening production is musically excellent, but the dated, dull production adds little. 

Délocalisé pour l'occasion à la Philharmonie de Paris, l'Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio a convaincu dans un programme atypique, malgré la direction rigide et musclée de la cheffe lituanienne.

Si la direction de Gustavo Dudamel et la mise en scène de Peter Sellars rendent justice au chef-d'œuvre wagnérien, la distribution inégale suffit à ternir le tableau.

Le Centre Lyrique Clermont Auvergne fête vingt années de passion et de combats pour faire vivre l'opéra et la musique en région. Et il ouvre la voix à plus d'un talent...

Musically, WNO gets it right. Straightforward brilliance is the order of the day, and plenty of it.

Seattle Opera's memorable Porgy and Bess excels with an exceptional cast who performed with utmost sympathy for their roles.

When the entire plot is triggered by a freak accident, you can't blame director David Pountney for making Fate itself one of the key characters.  

With Verdi's Otello, Music Director Robert Spano continues a recent Atlanta Symphony Orchestra tradition of presenting grand operatic works in a concert hall version

WNO's excellent revival of John Copley's 2011 staging of Die Fledermaus is a delight. 

To open the new year, Seattle Symphony music director Ludovic Morlot chose a standard work, Beethoven’s Ninth, prefaced with an unusual one by French composer Olivier Messaien. 

Oliver Sears' production of Macbeth comes to Cardiff in a production which offers a great deal musically but doesn't quite coalesce dramatically. 

The thrills of Tudor (pseudo-)history and bel canto expressivity combine in the second of Donizetti's “Three Queens” operas, Maria Stuarda, making its company debut at Seattle Opera.

To open its season, Seattle Opera presents its first-ever Nabucco in a production undermined by weak staging and uneven casting.

Rudolf Frey's production of Nabucco for Welsh National Opera undercuts the solemnity and beauty of the opera, detracting from some fine performances.
