Jean-Paul Scarpitta’s San Carlo staging was almost as minimal as a biblical oratorio.

A spectacular cast makes this Andrea Chénier the great event of the Liceu's opera season.

A terrific double bill of two one-act operas: Der Zwerg (The Dwarf) by Alexander von Zemlinsky and Il tabarro by Giacomo Puccini.

In this production of Andrea Chénier, love, liberty, revolution and death are all ingredients to create strong emotions: with a final ovation for the conductor.

Verdi’s Aida has been performed over 1,000 times at the Metropolitan Opera, making it the most commonly revived work after Puccini’s La bohème. Because Aida is so regularly programmed, I usually walk rather than run to see this opera.

Der himmlische Chor und das Orchester glänzen in Àlex Ollés Inszenierung, die der Musik szenisch nicht gerecht wird.

À l'Opéra de Marseille, l'œuvre de Puccini bénéficie de l'élégante mise en scène de Charles Roubaud. Avec un solide tandem Ricarda Merbeth – Antonello Palombi dans les rôles principaux.
