Andriy Yurkevych leads a rousing musical performance, but this visually impressive Nabucco tries to hard to be relevant and misses the mark.

Donizetti's frothy romantic comedy takes on fresh appeal in this faithful rendering at the State Opera.

A performance of highs and lows with a stellar step-in from Lidia Fridman as Lucrezia Borgia and a confused production by Ferenc Anger plays at the Palace of Arts.

Prokofiev's score is reordered, the choreography is contemporary, characters are missing, and each of the three main scenes is set during a different 20th-century time period... yet, to a certain extent, it works.

One might have hoped for a memorable performance of the work for its absolute première at the Carlo Felice. Instead, this was an experience to quickly forget.
