Barrie Kosky's 2011 production confines the action of the opera to a stark white room. A fine ensemble of singers made for a successful evening.

Calixto Bieito's The Tales of Hoffmann at the Norwegian National Opera contains some very effective and at times striking moments, but the production turned out something of a disappointment overall.

To describe this revival of Puccini's much-loved Madam Butterfly as a visual spectacle would be to do it a disservice. Originally directed by Anthony Minghella in its first outing in 2005, it is one of ENO's greatest success stories.

Cette Flûte Enchantée, aussi visuelle que musicale, est un spectacle pour tous, idéal pour initier à l’opéra les petits comme les grands.

Oksana Lyniv se estrena en la dirección de la ópera wagneriana y ofrece una lectura solvente de Un holandés errante de resultados desiguales, tanto en la escena, como en las voces, de entre las que Dohmen fue de lo mejor de la noche.
