An eclectic mix of lesser known works by Fauré are followed by Bizet's Symphony in C major the glories of Fauré's Requiem. 

The performance at Bergamo Opera Festival proved that L'ange de Nisida can contest the place of La favorite in Donizetti's catalog.

Directing Entführung at the grand old age of 85, John Copley gives us plenty of fun in the Pasha's palace. 

Sex and violence bubbles beneath the surface in this near-faultless staging of Carmen. 

Bruch’s Violin Concerto bo. 1 had a delicate soloist, but an outspoken orchestra, while Saint-Saëns’ “Organ Symphony” struck all the right notes.

Excellent singing, dramatic sets and jolly music make this a rewarding revival of a long-forgotten opera, Herculanum by David. 

Polish premières of two important French choral works featured Jean-Luc Tingaud and the Krakow Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus in idiomatic performances.

A traditionally staged Le Pré aux clercs fresh from Paris' Opéra Comique is presented with colour and joie de vivre.

It is a myth that pearls can be formed from grit and so it proved here, where a vastly underwhelming musical performance sullied a much improved production of Bizet’s The Pearl Fishers.
