We preview nine major new operas on stage this season in Europe, from composers including Unsuk Chin, Rebecca Saunders, Mark-Anthony Turnage, Philip Venables and Toshio Hosokawa.

The composer and librettist of one of the most successful contemporary operas tell us about its creation.

Opera is central to Jonathan Dove’s output and few composers have been as active in bringing opera to a new generation of audiences. His hugely successful opera The Adventures of Pinocchio has delighted family audiences around the world since its 2007 Opera North première. As part of Opera Month’s focus on accessibility, we asked Jonathan about writing for – and collaborating with – children.  

Choral music is more popular than ever with audiences and performers alike. Penny Homer takes us into the world of choral music of today, pointing out some lesser-known works which deserve to be shared amongst Bachtrack's audience.
