A traditional staging by Romain Gilbert is welcomed at the Teatro di San Carlo, with a glittering line-up of soloists. 

Zingarelli's Giulietta e Romeo won the favour of no less than Napoleon I himself and a new production at the Opéra Royal offers an appropriately regal setting in which to see Gilles Rico's new production of this once famous opera.

Charpentiers “biblical tragedy” exudes energy, with Reinoud van Mechelen an outstanding David and fabulous period playing from Gaétan Jarry and his Ensemble Marguerite Louise.

Ailyn Pérez draws every eye and ear to her in an easy-on-the-eye production that doesn't solve some of the work's inherent contradictions.

Berlin's Candide is a tour-de-force of dramatic, comic and musical brilliance.
