Aigul Akhmetshina is on the verge of becoming the definitive Carmen; in this first revival of Michieletto's 2024 production at Covent Garden, she delivers the standout performance. 

In this revival of Stephen Lawless' busy production, set in 1945 Italy, young American tenor Jonah Hoskins' endearing performance tilts Donizetti's charmer in a Nemorino-centric direction. 

An ideal young cast and a thoughtful production bring fresh perspectives to Puccini's tragedy.

Guth's intelligent production comes with a Karita Mattila masterclass and an outstanding cast, intense to the point of pain. 

The evening’s most unbuttoned applause was reserved for two native anglophone artists, countertenor Patrick Terry and bass-baritone Michael Mofidian.

The young singers spin any raw material into opera gold, sending the audience home as uplifted as if they’d just glugged a bellyful of Pimm’s.

An exquisitely matched pair of sopranos as Susanna and the Countess make up for some quirky casting elsewhere. 

Patrick Fournillier dirigió la obra de Gounod con equilibrio y tiempos ágiles en una producción en la que destacaron las voces de Yaritza Véliz y Ben Reisinger, pero que no acabó de funcionar escénicamente.

Con una flamante Mimì de Yaritza Véliz, se inicia la temporada de ópera en el Municipal de Santiago. La producción se erige como una revisión innovadora tan teatral como musical.

Tras trece años, la ópera que combina romanticismo y humor volvió a la capital chilena, con un montaje donde destacó lo cómico, unido a un bien logrado resultado musical.
