El Palau de les Arts presenta una producción propia de Madama Butterfly con dirección de Antonino Fogliani y Emilio López.

A bland staging: at the end what really emerged was Rossini’s glorious music, its intelligent construction and perfect beauty.

Notwithstanding director Pippo Delbono's narcissistic excesses, his staging confirmed itself as effective and penetrating.

A trusty and convincing version of the masterpiece, with a cast of well-matched singers.

After a number of eccentric stagings, Mario Pontiggia's traditional production is a hit in Naples. 

Barcelona’s Gran Teatre del Liceu stages Puccini’s first great success as an operatic composer, Manon Lescaut with the stage direction of Davide Livermore. 

La poco conocida ópera Adriana Lecouvreur de Francesco Cilea cierra la temporada del Teatro de la Maestranza. Al encanto de la partitura y la bondad interpretativa de la Orquesta de Sevilla se unió un elenco de excepción encabezado por la soprano Ainhoa Arteta.

Pippo Delbono, an advocate of experimental theatre, tests the audience's patience at Opera di Roma, masking some enjoyable musical performances.

In this staging of Verdi’s  masterpiece, the director reminds us that the ominous epilogue springs from its short prelude.

A piece of Italian verismo well worth being in the repertoire, beautifully staged and sung.

Opera at its best. Lot of emotion in this fully melodramatic staging of Tosca in Naples, every performer was completely in their role.

Director Michal Znaniecki sets the action of Verdi's popular Il trovatore in an indeterminate 20th century wartime, undecidedly trying to mix up visual suggestions and primeval anguish

A Neapolitan farce which was successful in all Italian theatres, fun and frantic.

This production of Puccini’s masterpiece was delivered on a monochromatic set, with  a director-centred staging of the story of love and despair of Cio-Cio San.

“Sorry for my meddling. I am the director of this opera.” Before the curtain opens, in a prologue to the prologue, Delbono shows up and addresses the audience.
