Handel's Opera Lotario is the centrepiece for this year's Göttingen Handel festival, receiving warm acclaim on its opening night.

With sub-Ionesco doggerel for a libretto, a patchy score and a disjointed plot, it takes deft stage direction for farce and satire to blend credibly in Le grand macabre, Ligeti’s 1977 operatic spoof on doom-laden prophesizing.

Se presenta en España la joya de la zarzuela latinoamericana, Cecilia Valdés, con excelente música de Roig y una producción no tan a la altura del esperado estreno.

L'Opéra National de Montpellier présente une nouvelle production de Geneviève de Branbant d'Offenbach. Spectacle quelque peu poussif et musicalement limite.
