National Ballet of Japan has revived Sir David Bintley’s Aladdin for the first time in five years and it shows how the company has developed since the premiere in 2008. 

A solid Figaro in Cardiff, in which individual performances are a joy, and humour abounds. 

All the creative contributions of direction, choeography, designs and music come together to achieve a stirring ballet that tells a familar story with great clarity 

Elena Langer's gorgeous and tongue-in-cheek Figaro Gets a Divorce shines in Geneva, despite David Pountney's boxy libretto. 

L’Opéra de Genève s’offre une trilogie autour de Figaro, avec notamment un Mozart pétillant. Il ne restera plus qu’à découvrir le « Figaro gets a Divorce » d’Elena Langer qui viendra clore cette triologie proposée par le Grand Théâtre de Genève. 

Coup d'envoi de la rentrée lyrique genevoise avec le Barbier de Séville, premier volet d'une trilogie consacré à Figaro. 

Elena Langer and David Pountney's new WNO opera Figaro Gets a Divorce did not disappoint. Langer's new refreshing score had flair and imagination in a memorable performance.

Welsh National Opera's new production of The Barber of Seville disappoints in an uncoordinated performance in Bristol. 

Lothar Koenigs conducted a musically excellent and dramatically straightforward performance of Mozart's Marriage of Figaro in Cardiff.

Gods, nymphs, campy cavemen, angel's wings and a one-legged pirate - this production has it all, and plenty more. 

“The very incarnation of vice” was how one critic described Célestine Galli-Marié’s Carmen at the opera’s 1875 Opéra Comique première. That description could equally be applied to Stéphanie d’Oustrac in Glyndebourne’s revival of David McVicar’s terrific production.
