Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Bruno de Simone

Marianne Crebassa and Maxim Mironov shine in a revival of Rossini’s masterpiece, for an evening of great fun.

A fresh, gleaming production of director Elena Barbalich, with as much vaudeville as possible

Lord Sidney's contemplation of the insanity of the world seems to be the impetus for this delirious production. So endless is its stream of gags that to attend this show is to be left feeling exhausted.

A revival of a verismo rarity: Umberto Giordano's La cene delle beffe at La Scala. 

Director Michieletto’s playful staging, Stefano Montanari’s expressive conducting and stylish singing from a cast of seasoned Rossinian singers make for a thoroughly enjoyable new production of the too rare Il viaggio a Reims at the Dutch National Opera.

This cheerful revival production of Il Barbiere di Siviglia showcases the operatic talent that Naples' Teatro di San Carlo can count on.

Encore une fois, la magie du lieu sublime la qualité des spectacles, avec en prime un irrésistible Florian Sempey dans le rôle titre. 

Coup d'envoi de la rentrée lyrique genevoise avec le Barbier de Séville, premier volet d'une trilogie consacré à Figaro.
