A historical staging with well sung arias doesn't really bring Puccini's opera alive as Rome marks its 125th anniversary. 

Anna Netrebko, Yusif Eyvazov and Ludovic Tézier captivate the audience in the scenic square a few metres from the opera house

A fresh, gleaming production of director Elena Barbalich, with as much vaudeville as possible

Alessandro Talevi's gorgeous staging recreates Tosca as it might have been seen at its 1900 première. 

The revival of La Grotta di Trofonio is part of the celebrations for the 150th anniversary of Paisiello's death, in co-production with Teatro San Carlo in Naples.

It took a whole act to warm up the audience, but at the end, San Carlo's production of Lehár’s frothy operetta proved convincing

The visual results are stunning, though an uneven cast made this a performance with clear weaknesses as well as strengths. Aquiles Machado's Cavaradossi, on the other hand, was an indubitable revelation.

The Festival della Valle d'Itria opened with a 20th century opera of some musical value, but of much more historical and philological interest for scholars.
