El Liceu vuelve a presentar Les pêcheurs de perles 55 años después con una innovadora pero arriesgada puesta en escena de Lotte de Beer.

Pet Halmen’s 2003 production of Puccini's unfinished final opera places asks more riddles than Turandot's quiz questions to her would-be suitors. 

Rossini's Otello is rarely performed, mainly due to its three demanding tenor roles, but the Rossini Opera Festival delivers a knockout, both vocally and emotionally. 

This production brought the work into the 21st century, at least visually, with a more modernised and digitally-stylised telling than their recent attempts.

Plus donné au Théâtre Antique d'Orange depuis 1978, l'opéra de Saint-Saëns fait son retour avec un duo de rêve en Roberto Alagna et Marie-Nicole Lemieux.

La phalange mulhousienne a donné une création française de Kareem Roustom avant une brillante Symphonie espagnole par Alexandra Soumm. La Symphonie « italienne » de Mendelssohn a moins convaincu.

En cette fin d’année, l’Opéra de Paris nous offre un spectacle réjouissant, plein de magie.

For frothy entertainment, Pelly’s Fille is harmless fun, even if it descends into pantomime cliché. Juan Diego Flórez’s Tonio ensures it remains a hot ticket and Patrizia Ciofi’s Marie is a bundle of energy.

San Diego Opera's season opening Pagliacci focused squarely on the character of Tonio, in Andrew Sinclair's intriguing vision for this verismo classic. But the vocal performances were lacking. A director can only do so much.

Chicks dig the high notes. The enduring popularity of Donizetti’s The Daughter of the Regiment seems to indicate as much. The plot is silly (even by opera’s standards) and much of the music is not as memorable as some of Donizetti’s more popular works.

The nationality of Gaetano Donizetti's La Fille du Régiment is as confused as that of its eponymous heroine.
