Superb singing and brilliant work in the pit can't quite rescue Jiří Nekvasil's overambitious production.

The Prague National Theatre serves up a bright finish to its insightful, troubling tour of interwar music. 

Powerful visuals can't compensate for an otherwise empty production of Janáček’s gripping tragedy.

Magdalena Švecová's staging for Prague National Theatre wins hearts with ensemble work full of verve and costumes that are pure eye candy.

Karita Mattila produces a star turn in the title role, but a pure concert staging does little to bring out the cleverness of the libretto of Janáček’s Makropulos Case.

It's not for nothing that Janáček's opera is properly titled Její pastorkyňa (Her Stepdaughter). Karita Mattila's Kostelnička was at the centre of a powerful concert performance of Jenůfa.

A twin bill of fairy tales in Prague delights and disappoints.

Baffling staging muddles a politically charged period piece that still has the power to perturb.
