L'opéra de Verdi en est à sa troisième nouvelle production en douze ans dans la Grande Boutique, pour un succès – une fois encore – avant tout musical…

Malgré une belle interprétation entre ombre et lumière, la production dirigée par Christophe Rousset pâtit d'un manque certain de prise de risques, tant du côté des voix que de la mise en espace.

Strong performances by chorus, orchestra and the father-daughter pairing of Amartuvshin Enkhbat and Anna Pirozzi make this Covent Garden revival well worth the visit.

A traditional staging by Romain Gilbert is welcomed at the Teatro di San Carlo, with a glittering line-up of soloists. 

The Armenian soprano sweeps all before her in a delightfully controlled, touching performance, enhanced by a voice that would melt the stoniest of hearts. 

The Norwegian soprano scores a major success at Covent Garden in her role debut as Elisabetta, whetting appetites for more Verdi to come. 

Speranza Scappucci makes her house debut conducting Verdi's early opera in concert, featuring Russian bass Ildar Abdrazakov as an outstanding Attila. 

The Royal Opera's revival of Keith Warner's staging feels underbaked, although interest is largely focused on the pit as the latest contender to take over from Antonio Pappano as Music Director is auditioned.
