Amartuvshin Enkhbat and María José Siri spar as father and daughter in Günter Krämer's tired production of Verdi's biblical epic. 

With duets from Pique Dame and Iolanta, along with set pieces from Eugene Onegin, this gala was packed with Russian passion.

With Gergely Kesselyák on double duty as conductor and director, this revival proves musically outstanding but theatrically less than satisfying.

Singers delight in a rare concert performance of Bellini's opera.

Solid singing proves to be the main attraction of an ineffective new staging of Die Walküre at the Hungarian State Opera.
