A Tosca to set the nerves jangling in Savonlinna

Die Oper Frankfurt präsentiert Boris Godunow in der Schostakowitsch-Fassung – szenisch und musikalisch aufwendig wird die Inszenierung zu einer überwältigenden Ensemble-Leistung.

Michael Volle und Wolfgang Koch führen eine triumphale Neuinszenierung von Keith Warner an.

The Royal Opera's revival of Keith Warner's staging feels underbaked, although interest is largely focused on the pit as the latest contender to take over from Antonio Pappano as Music Director is auditioned.

Keith Warner directs a new opera which packs in betrayal, murder, oppression, freedom, love and the Spanish Inquisition into a mere 90 minutes.

The American must be one of the few tenors to tackle both Rossini and Verdi's Moor with success.
