La Orquestra de Cadaqués ofrece su último concierto en el Auditorio Nacional acompañada por Martin Fröst y el Coro Estatal de Letonia.

Una orquesta con función de acompañante delegó a los cantantes la inmensa tarea de intentar explicar la muerte, o al menos de nombrarla.

La Fura ofrece en este Holandés un espectáculo mayúsculo, de una superficialidad inteligente, acompañado por un elenco solvente y un foso con escaso sentido narrativo. 

El Holandés errante sirve a la OCNE para desplegar todo su poderío sonoro en una noche en la que la Senta de Ricarda Merbeth robó el protagonismo a un desigual Terfel.

Zu einem Triumph wurde die Rückkehr des einstigen Generalmusikdirektors Franz Welser-Möst; ebenfalls zurück kehrte die 30 Jahre alte Inszenierung von Harry Kupfer.

In the tiring role of Menelaus Andreas Schager was a mighty Heldentenor, combining impressive sound power with a dazzling colour and without ever showing a moment of fatigue.

At the Enescu Festival n Bucharest Vladimir Jurowski celebrates the centennial of Die Frau one Schatten’s premiere.

Le chef-d'œuvre wagnérien bénéficie de la mise en scène intelligente et subtile de Ralf Pleger et d'un couple-titre convaincant. Très grande prestation d'Alain Altinoglu à la baguette.

Peter Seiffert can still impress as Tristan, but Graham Vick's staging is uncertain and unconvincing. 

Chung's mastery of orchestral colour and texture came into its own, the brooding introduction to Act 2 making for a harrowingly apocalyptic representation of tyranny.

The most talked about new production in the New National Theatre Tokyo’s 20th anniversary season undercuts Beethoven’s idealism.

A strong cast, a lyrically simmering orchestra and lucid staging make this a Tristan und Isolde to treasure.

The production was interesting but at times distracting, but the musical performances triumphed. 

What distinguishes Noseda's Tristan most of all is especial balance in the orchestra and a transparency of sound that reveals the inner-workings of the music.

Skelton's Florestan provides the power in a refined, elegant performance that brings out the beauty in Beethoven's score.

A musical performance of stunning quality underpins this revival of Krzysztof Warlikowski's lavish, ambiguous Strauss staging.

Powerful performances in Götz Friedrich's Deutsche Oper production. 

Visually inconsistant but some mesmerising perfromances in Kirsten Harms' production. 

Yannick Nézet-Séguin’s impressive conducting, Tomasz Konieczny’s tortured Telramund and the Chor der Wiener Staatsoper save this performance of  Lohengrin from becoming an ignominious swan song.

Une nouvelle production ambitieuse et saissante du Lear de Reimann à l'Opéra de Paris, qui voit sombrer dans la folie un roi d'Angleterre interprété magistralement par Bo Skovhus.

The set is a stark, grubby nonentity. A central concave structure spits out each scene's requisites, flashing up like apparitions from the vortex of Wozzeck's mind.

An updated but otherwise traditional Flying Dutchman directed by Jan Philipp Gloger offers plenty of enjoyment at Bayreuth, although it might not linger in the memory as long as the more controversial fare at the Festival

Trotz ihres Alters überwältigt Herbert Wernickes Inszenierung bis heute mit gewaltiger Bildsprache, doch gerade reduziertes Bühnenbild bedarf umso feinerer Personenregie.

Richard Strauss’ outstanding catalogue of operas is part of the staple diet of opera houses around the world. From the musically and dramatically intense scores of Salome and Elektra to the romantically lush, emotional sweepings of Der Rosenkavalier, there is something in his canon for all manner of opera enthusiasts.

Tradition has it in Vienna that while the Wiener Philharmoniker ring in the New Year to the strains of the Blue Danube and other Strauss family hits, the Wiener Symphoniker give festive performances of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony at the Konzerthaus.
