An admirable but disjointed performance of Beethoven's sacred choral work did not benefit from an extratextual art installation.

John Osborn leads a very successful premiere of Peter Konwitschny's new production of Meyerbeer's Les Huguenots in Dresden

The Philadelphia Orchestra's superb semi-staged production of Tosca. 

Towering above all the other meritorious singers in this performance, was the phenomenal Georgian mezzo-soprano Anita Rachvelishvili 

Joseph Calleja and Anna Netrebko show off their vocal qualities, leading a star cast above an uninspiring orchestral performance in John Copley's Royal Opera production of La bohème in what is to be its last season.

First presented in Perth in 2002, West Australian Opera’s Il trovatore (a co-production with Opera Queensland and State Opera of South Australia) is dedicated to the memory of director Elke Neidhardt, and here the stage becomes hers.

The New York City Opera has spent the season reinventing itself from a large company with a large theater to a peripatetic one presenting small works. Perhaps it was apt that they closed their season with Telemann’s Orpheus.
