The limitations of AI are demonstrated in Alvis Hermanis’ problematic new production of Salome at Latvian National Opera. 

Kenneth Tindall's epic Casanova is a huge success for all concerned in Riga.

The leafy parks and cobbled streets of Riga’s old town are far removed from the intense heat of the little village in the Basque Country in which Donizetti set his L'elisir d'amore, but a new production at the Latvian National Opera captures much of the spirit of the work, adroitly balancing comedy with the joys and pain of love.

With four singers making their debuts and two more experienced singers making strong impression, Latvian opera singing appears to be in safe hands.
