An impressively cast revival for Verdi's one-time neglected masterpiece at Covent Garden.

With a guest performance of the Komische Oper Berlin, Barrie Kosky's and Suzanne Andrade's magical production triumphs in Budapest.

Sorochyntsi Fair was last performed at Berlin's Komische Oper in 1948 by the legendary stage director Walter Felsenstein. Now Barrie Kosky, stage director and intendant, has tried his hand.

Barrie Kosky's 2011 production confines the action of the opera to a stark white room. A fine ensemble of singers made for a successful evening.

For the latest revival of Moshe Leiser and Patrice Caurier's candy-striped production, the Royal Opera serves up the operatic equivalent of stodgy semolina.

Barrie Kosky's new production of Eugene Onegin at the Komische Oper Berlin is delicious for the eyes, ears and emotions.

At the end of the season, and before closing for the summer break, the Komische Oper Berlin reprise some of their most successful recent productions for one night only in the Komische Oper Festival, including the popular “cartoon” Magic Flute.

In the early years of the 20th century Puccini was a very happy man. His most recent opera, Tosca, was proving as successful as La Bohème, and the lucky composer was being summoned to opera houses throughout Europe for its premières. In the summer of 1900 Puccini attended the première performance of Tosca in London, and soaked in the atmosphere of Europe’s largest city.

Cette reprise de La Flûte dans la mise en scène de Robert Carsen nous dévoile un casting vocal à la hauteur des exigences de la partition, et nous démontre une fois de plus la capacité du metteur en scène à traduire avec poésie et grâce les sentiments les plus perfides qui bien souvent s'expriment dans les rapports les plus intenses entre les êtres.

Auch nach vier Jahren lockt die Produktion von Mozarts Evergreen das Publikum in Scharen ins Opernhaus und verspricht einen anregenden Abend.
