Reaching a milestone 100th performance, Liliana Cavani’s grand staging of La traviata returns in fine form, featuring a luminous Nadine Sierra as Violetta.

The COC’s revival of Verdi’s La traviata features fine singing, especially from Kathryn Lewek’s Violetta, but has perhaps lost a little of the edge of previous runs.

Superb musicality and terrific playing underpin Marek Janowski's no-nonsense Bruckner with the Gewandhausorchester.

The new Music Director’s opening subscription concert offers an emotionally cathartic tribute to 9/11, a riotous world premiere and brilliantly performed Prokofiev.

The gritty realism of Matthew Wild’s updated production can’t quite save Tchaikovsky’s historic drama in its Frankfurt premiere. 

From John Adams’ swinging mechanics and Simone Lamsma’s fiery Korngold to Alan Gilbert’s masterfully paced Brahms First, the NDR Elbphilharmonie ignite the evening with boundless energy.

Stylistic juxtapositions from within a single year shape an intelligently conceived programme at the BBC Proms, marked by polished accounts.
