Natalia Osipova, a seasoned Tatiana, is joined by Lukas B Brændsrød, making his debut as Onegin in the summer return of John Cranko's take on Pushkin's classic verse novel. 

The welcome revival of a borrowed jewel in The Royal Ballet's treasure chest of story ballets.   

Crystal Pite’s Angels’ Atlas offers a strange closer for the NBC's program in their brief run at New York City Center.

The Australian Ballet do full justice to Shakespeare's epic tale of star-crossed lovers. Featuring a restaging of John Cranko's famous ballet, the first in almost twenty years, both the ensemble and leads shine in bringing Verona to life. 

After two years of pandemic disruptions, the Australian Ballet celebrates its return to the stage with this gala of impressively-chosen showstopper pas de deux.

John Cranko's balletic take on Pushkin approaches its 100th performance by The Royal Ballet, opening this run with a magnificent Tatiana from the Russian star. 

The first mixed programme of the new season is led by a stellar cast.

While Bellini’s two-act opera Norma underscores the religious wars between the ancient Druids and Romans, it also highlights an emotive personal conflict that is veiled in deceit and cultural discrepancy.

Widely thought a pinnacle of 20th century dance, John Neumeier’s “Die Kameliendame” ballet recently celebrated its 100th performance at the Bayerisches Staatsoper in Munich.

For a ticket to 19th-century romance, head to Amsterdam, where John Neumeier's story will stir your heart and lift you up.

Gun-Brit Barkmin’s Salome was neither sexy, salacious, psycho-erotic nor particularly well sung.

Lantratov played Onegin with considerable nuance and intensity.

Carole Wilson’s Herodias almost upstages Lise Lindstrom’s sexy Salome in a fine revival of Boleslaw Barlog's 1972 production in Vienna.

Better conducting and supertitles would also help breathe life into this drab revival of Bayerische Staatsoper's Don Carlo.

A stunning performance of John Neumeier's Romeo and Juliet by The Hamburg Ballet, with Hélène Bouchet and Alexandr Trusch in the leading roles.

A good staging and good acting aren't enough to make up for musical shortcomings of the Bayerische Staatsoper's Norma. 

An opening night of Così fan tutte in Munich in which Gaëlle Arquez and Marina Rebeka as the two sisters take the honours. 

With such a fine couple as Marianela Núñez and Thiago Soares leading the drama, John Cranko's Onegin touches the heart at The Royal Ballet. 

In this minimalist period production of Figaro, the singing and acting are the centre of attention. A very talented cast carries the show, delivering beautiful singing and engaging comedy.

This L’elisir d’amore at the Vienna Staatsoper, with Lawrence Brownlee and Mario Cassi, saw a successful two-performance test-run before its return in March, again under the baton of Guillermo García Calvo.

Otto Schenk's production of Der Rosenkavalier is now four decades old but it still looks quite fresh, its opulence unfaded.

When Richard Strauss first wrote Salome, he was unable to get it performed in his home city of Vienna, so shocking was the material with its heavy eroticism and necrophiliac ending (the première was in Dresden). A century on, times are more permissive, and Salome features in the seasons both of Vienna's Volksoper and of the Staatsoper, where we saw it last night.
