Maurice Ravel opened his 1928 tour of the United States conducting a series of concerts with the Boston Symphony featuring his own music.

Canadian conductor Jacques Lacombe led the Boston Symphony Orchestra in a Debussy, Ravel, Orff program.

Clémentine Margaine and Riccardo Massi star as the troubled lover's in the Deutsche Oper's classic, yet bloodless, production of Carmen.

This seemingly disjointed program from Jacques Lacombe and the Orchestra Symphonique de Montréal included music by Berlioz, Dvořák and Ravel, in addition to a new work by Serge Arcuri: all voyages of complementary but fundamentally different kinds.

Opera Company of Philadelphia (OCP) reached into the Philadelphia community with its remake of Gounod’s Romeo and Juliet, the second of five shows in the 2010-11 season. In his OCP debut, Italian director Manfred Schweigkofler gave the company a chance to recast a Renaissance-era tale of two Italian families bearing ancient and deadly grudges as warring fashion houses in 21st century Verona.

L'Orchestre Symphonique de Mulhouse proposait en mars un concert de musique française. On pourrait envisager la Faust-Symphonie de Liszt dans une certaine continuité, sachant ce qu'elle doit particulièrement à Berlioz.
