This summer’s production of Bizet’s Carmen on the Seebühne stage in Bregenz offers a great spectacle. 

A largely newly cast revival of The Rake's Progress takes a while to catch fire, but when it does the results are devilishly good.

The third installament of the Ring in Frankfurt took full advantage of the architecturally ingenius set to complement great music making by the orchestra and singers.

Twenty-eight immobile cast members faced the audience from the long white bench which comprised the totality of Katrin Lea Tag’s bare set. Meanwhile, a floor-level, period instrument orchestra delivered the attention-grabbing, minor key Overture to Purcell's 1688 Dido and Aeneas.
