Lush visuals and appealing singing do not quite make up for a somewhat lacklustre revival of Nicholas Hytner's acclaimed 2006 production of Mozart's late comedy.

The Kungliga Operan presents a stagnant production of Verdi’s masterpiece, with a competent cast comprised mostly of Swedish singers.

A superb choral performance and some memorable solo moments bring Mahler's "Symphony of a Thousand" to life, even if the sheer energy of the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra turns frantic at times.

The BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus conducted by James Gaffigan, with two stellar soprano soloists, deliver a maritime-themed programme of pieces by Korngold, Anders Hillborg and Rimsky-Korsakov.

This Peter Grimes was a tale of two talents: the conductor and the star.

Everything is right in this Gothenburg production of Mozart's Figaro that exceeds all expectation and offers high-level entertainment up until the very last chord.

Interviewed at the Barbican Centre last year, Stephen Fry described Gerald Barry’s score for The Importance of Being Earnest (2010) rather unfavourably as “taking a machete to a soufflé”. However, this zany opera based on Oscar Wilde’s classic play of 1895 has already emerged victorious from concert premières in Los Angeles and London.

Travaillant sur l'harmonie, l'équilibre et la question de l'attraction dans ce Cosí, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker propose une vision toute singulière de cette oeuvre dont la misogynie certaine ne saurait être gommée ou normalisée.
