La nouvelle création de Kaija Saariaho est une grande œuvre musicale mal servie cependant par une mise en scène façon Netflix de Simon Stone.

Kaija Saariaho's opera – staged by Simon Stone and the hit of the 2021 Aix-en-Provence Festival – makes its UK debut.

For any opera house, the production of a new Wagner Ring cycle is a huge undertaking and becomes a mission statement. For Finnish National Opera, its mission is to stage an all-Finnish Ring.

In an unusually convincing concert performance, Esa-Pekka Salonen and the Finnish National Opera emphasised the lyrical aspects of Wagner's Das Rheingold.

A musically strong revival of an austere production still leaves one feeling short-changed.

Catherine Naglestad und Elena Zhidkova brillieren in den weiblichen Hauptrollen von Hector Berlioz' *Les Troyens* neben dem bestens aufgelegten Philharmonischen Staatsorchester Hamburg und seinem Generalmusikdirektor Kent Nagano.
