It's not without flaws, but the latest revival of Richard Jones' beautiful production of Puccini's beloved Parisian tale has drama aplenty.

Canadian Opera Company’s revival of John Caird’s art-infused production is perfectly realised in singing, acting, and the orchestra’s vibrant yet velvety colours.

The Staatsoper Unter den Linden's multi-seasonal Baroque project continues with a new production of Mozart's first opera seria, which roars and soars under the conducting of Marc Minkowski.

Gianni Amelio's traditionalist staging pleased the audience, and Nadine Sierra brought vocal grace and a flawless technique to the title role.
