Claus Guth's new production at the Metropolitan Opera, originally seen at the Bolshoi in 2021, moves the action from biblical Judea to the era of the opera's composition. 

Julie Taymor's whimsical 2004 staging of Mozart's Singspiel continues to please in the Met's condensed, English-language version.

John Dexter's production, now among the longest-serving in the company's repertory, remains a marvel of simple, effective storytelling.

The Royal Opera's revival of Keith Warner's staging feels underbaked, although interest is largely focused on the pit as the latest contender to take over from Antonio Pappano as Music Director is auditioned.

Ein aufgefressener Strohhut und die daraus entstehenden Irrungen und Wirrungen sorgen dank spritziger Regie und bestens gelauntem Ensemble für einen unterhaltsamen Abend. 

Dans une nouvelle production qui a également valeur d'entrée au répertoire, l'œuvre de Dvořák bénéficie d'une mise en scène soignée et engagée, et d'interprètes tout aussi remarquables.
