Una Dama de picas surrealista y cinematográfica triunfa en Les Arts. 

Una deslucida apertura de temporada en el Teatro Real da cuenta, una vez más, de la escurridiza naturaleza de la obra maestra de Verdi.

Un Otello, en el Liceu, en la producción de Kriegenburg, con algunos claroscuros y en la que destacó Desdemona con una acertada interpretación.

Tchaikovsky's final opera and ballet were always intended to be paired; at the Royal Albert Hall Petrenko and the RPO present them together in a rewarding double-bill, marred by microphones.

In a setting that might be The Grange itself, a production which steadily tightens its grip until a blistering finish.

In die aspetische Atmosphäre einer kargen Bühnenlandschaft hat Damiano Michieletto die glühenden Leidenschaften der Personen in Leoš Janáčeks Oper Jenůfa gestellt.

De retour à l'Opéra Royal de Wallonie pour la première fois depuis 1994, le chef-d'œuvre de Tchaïkovski repose sur une mise en scène sage, que compense une interprétation musicale engagée.

Histoire touchante que celle de ce Démon à qui un Dieu particulièrement cruel refusera la rédemption par l’amour. Excellente distribution et mise en scène idoine pour cette belle redécouverte proposée par l’Opéra de Bordeaux.

When it comes to the title role, Bartlett Sher's non-interventionist production misses the core of the character. 

Seattle Opera's visually poetic and refined Madama Butterfly peeks back at Puccini's own first version of the opera, which was arguably more openly critical of the devastation wrought by imperialism. 

The evening was dominated by Anna Netrebko, who reprised the role of Tatiana with fresh insights and vocal charisma.  Robin Ticciati led the Met Orchestra to probe a new depth of the score.

Laurent Pelly exploits the satirical side of Rimsky-Korsakov's The Golden Cockerel at La Monnaie in a darkly humorous but colourfully performed production.

Little mark of Shakespeare's drama or Verdi's passion behind Bartlett Sher's exsanguinated, highly-stylized Otello for The Metropolitan Opera.

Houston Grand Opera’s season-opening production of the fiery opera does it right, from lighting to set to singing, and the end result is a stunning beginning to its season.

Warlokowski's staging of Eugene Onegin for the Bayerische Staatsoper works from a bold premise: Onegin is gay. Strong musical and dramatic performances keep the concept coherent and interesting, but it ultimately doesn't convince.

Christof Loy's modern-dress production of Donizetti's Roberto Devereux for the Bayerische Staatsoper is deliciously, darkly ironic. A dream cast handles the dramatic and musical challenges well, though the voice of the star sounds worn for this star vehicle.

For over a century, Puccini’s Madama Butterfly has been one of the most famous and widely staged operas in the world. The secret of this undying popularity lies in the complex and contradictive nature of the main heroine. Audiences always look for new vocal and dramatic interpretations of the character and keep their expectations high for the leading soprano.
