Kompositorisch überzeugt Srnkas Oper mit atmosphärischen und futuristischen Klangwelten, doch sie leidet unter dem Stillstand des Librettos.

David Pountney completes his “Verdi trilogy” for the company but although his staging has fluidity, it lacks an explosive ending... and the vocal performances disappoint. 

Musically, WNO gets it right. Straightforward brilliance is the order of the day, and plenty of it.

Au Théâtre du Capitole de Toulouse, la ténébreuse Ville morte de Korngold est allégée par la mise en scène de Philipp Himmelmann. Direction musicale souple et plateau vocal équilibré complètent la production.

David Pountney’s 2014 staging was revived in Naples with good singing and empathetic conducting.

When the entire plot is triggered by a freak accident, you can't blame director David Pountney for making Fate itself one of the key characters.

A striking staging of Rossini's Guillaume Tell at the Grand Théâtre in Geneva: well cast, beautifully sung and impeccably choreographed.

Riccardo Chailly kicks off his interim role as Principal Director at La Scala with Turandot, featuring Luciano Berio's ending, a score he knows like the back of his hand. 

A colour-coded Mosè in Egitto uses the paintings of Marc Chagall to inspire the costumes for the Jews and the Egyptians in this production of a Rossinian rarity.

Welsh National Opera's new production of Rossini's William Tell shows off orchestra and chorus to their full under Carlo Rizzi's baton
