The Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir and the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Tõnu Kaljuste, present an Arvo Pärt portrait concert in Glasgow. 

WNO imports Edward Dick’s exceptionally fine production, which benefits from from superb casting and outstanding performances led by Natalya Romaniw. 

With a standout cast, fine orchestral playing under Carlo Rizzi, and newly refurbished sets, Zeffirelli’s 1987 staging of Puccini’s epic fairy tale appears as bright as ever.

Lydia Steier stages Strauss’ masterpiece to open Zurich Opera’s first premiere under the new artistic direction – a triumphant success. 

The – much belated – world premiere of Blitzstein's 1929 one-act opera is paired with Bernstein's Second Symphony, performed by the Norrköping Symphony Orchestra. 

Dvořák’s rarely heard oratorio The Spectre’s Bride fails to ignite, leaving a performance caught uneasily between respect and restlessness. 

Celebration is on the menu at the Houston Symphony Orchestra’s season opening weekend of concerts, conducted by Juraj Valčuha.
