Des chanteurs, talentueux, une mise en scène efficace, un orchestre convaincant : tels sont les ingrédients d'un succès mérité.

A modern Mahagonny rises and falls in Mannheim, brought to life by a great cast of singer-actors and a conductor (Benjamin Reiners) and orchestra who celebrate Weill's catchy score.

Nationaltheater Mannheim's new production of Brecht and Weill's collaboration is a true company achievement and a thrilling evening of music and theatre.

The Hallé's oddly-ordered Ring arrives at the beginning with Das Rheingold.

Deutsche Oper Berlin performed an intensely focussed opera on the birth and death of one man based on Jon Fosse's novel – a memorable and moving contemplation on life.
