Ein szenisch uneingelöstes Regiekonzept hinterließ nach dem Besuch der Märchenoper Hänsel und Gretel in Stuttgart keine Freude. Wenigstens wurde erfrischend gesungen und gespielt. 

The Komische Oper's new, socially-distanced Offenbach staging shows plenty of glitzy defiance in its brief appearance before Germany's latest lockdown. 

Mit der Kombination aus Tschaikowskys Iolanta und Strawkinskys Marva zu einer Doppeloper gelingt dem Opernstudio ein zauberhaftes Experiment.

On one level, Le Coq d’Or, Rimsky-Korsakov’s final opera, is a simple fairy tale. However, you don’t need to dig far to discover a biting satire, which was largely absent in this presentation by Les Saisons Russes du XXI Siècle.

It was like going on the journey from Kansas to the Land of Oz. After dank, dark drizzle on the streets outside, the scene inside the London Coliseum suddenly transformed into dazzling and vivid colour for this famous fairy-tale by Russian poet Alexander Pushkin. 

With an opera like Carmen, one never knows exactly what to expect. Recent trends (with English National Opera, for instance) have been to up the levels of raunchiness in an attempt to recreate the original scandale which this depiction of lower-class immorality in 19th-century Seville met with in Paris in 1875.
