Franco Zeffirelli’s spectacular production of Turandot gets another revival with Christine Goerke and Yusif Eyvazov as the ice princess and Calaf.

Christine Goerke gives a thrillingly fleshed-out performance as the princess Turandot that is everything one wants opera to be.

When it comes to the title role, Bartlett Sher's non-interventionist production misses the core of the character. 

The Met succeeded in casting two strong singers for the difficult lead roles of Puccini's final opera. 

The Metropolitan Opera’s now 29-year old production of Aida is still standing and still looking good. Gianni Quaranta’s gigantic sets – floor-to-sky-statuary, regal-looking staircases, a couple of horses, wise/exciting use of the stage elevator to change scenes (causing, unfortunately, a glitch the other night which delayed the final scene for a few minutes), costumes (by Dada Saligeri) mostly of

William Kentridge's Lulu for ENO is easier to admire than it is to love. But if you want to be challenged dramatically, this is the opera to do it.
