A production which did not make a strong impression in Naples, despite a first rate cast. 

La bohème at the New National Theatre Tokyo, performed by a fine cast and orchestra.

Excellent music-making over an indecisive but faithful Simon Boccanegra production opens Genoa's Teatro Carlo Felice new season.

The gaily poor artists are called to adulthood and responsibility.

 Despite a stellar Mimì, a disappointing La bohème at Grange Park Opera.

Leo Muscato's new production of Rigoletto was the first in Rome since conductor Riccardo Muti resigned in September, denouncing a lack of "serenity". 

Rigoletto contains some of Verdi’s greatest melodies, and Opera Australia’s new production brings out the mixture of passion and darkness the heart of this story.

Aida ouvre la saison du centenaire de l'Opéra à Nancy. Une prise de rôle éblouissante par Michelle Bradley dans le rôle-titre.

Rigoletto assez terne au Festival des Arènes de Vérone : le sublime bouffon de Verdi ainsi que la réputation du Festival italien méritaient bien un niveau d’interprétation supérieur.
