Bruno Ravella's splendid 2021 production of Strauss' opera of Viennese manners returns with a fine cast. 

The Opéra de Lyon presents Britten’s masterpiece for the first time: a triumph, both visually and musically, which is received with great enthusiasm by the audience.

At MusikTheater an der Wien, Miroslav Srnka’s new opera provess a deeply compelling, meticulously crafted work. It may not uplift, but it sears itself into the memory.

Finnegan Downie Dear oversees a decidedly conflicted concert of works by Beethoven, Britten and Cassandra Miller that veered between ravishing beauty and unsynchronised sloppiness. 

Alex Otterburn as East End Eddy gives a towering performance in Scottish Opera’s revival of its Edinburgh Festival production of Mark Anthony Turnage’s Greek.

Höchste Spielkultur, abseits des Gewohnten und fern jeder Routine machte dieses Konzert von Isabelle Faust mit dem Balthasar-Neumann-Ensemble unter der Leitung von Finnegan Downie Dear zu einem singulären, beglückenden Erlebnis.

L'adaptation de l'opéra de Britten par Ted Huffman et Oliver Leith est un bijou musical et théâtral, porté par une équipe d'artistes exceptionnels.

Finnegan Downie Dear leitete durch ein Spektrum sinnlicher Musik von Wagner bis Jonathan Harvey.
