A movie-like staging for Puccini's most original opera at the Teatro San Carlo.

A zinging account of Verdi's score, making up for Daniele Abbado's nondescript production. 

A terrific double bill of two one-act operas: Der Zwerg (The Dwarf) by Alexander von Zemlinsky and Il tabarro by Giacomo Puccini.

Dass es nicht immer einer Inszenierung bedarf zeigte die konzertante Aufführung von Verdis Ernani unter leidenschaftlichem Dirigat von Riccardo Muti.

La production de La Fura dels Baus allie familier et détails modernes dans une mise en scène intelligente d'une grande puissance. Les Arènes ont apprécié cette édition centenaire l'an dernier, et on se demande si ce n'est pas cette production qui y sera bientôt célébrée.

A great singing cast and an excellent conducting for the unveiling of Otello's ghosts in Naples.

According to Riccardo Muti in a recent interview for Chicago Classical Review, the cardinal sins of modern conductors when interpreting Verdi are over-aggression and vulgarity.
