The German premiere of a late-19th-century Italian opera that has closer musical and dramatic links to Wagner than to Verdi or Puccini.

A fresh take on Mozart's Idomeneo in Dresden

Max Woods, 29th November

Mozart wrote 20 operas during his relatively short life, the first being performed in Salzburg in 1767, when the composer was just eleven years old. However, it is Idomeneo, written and premièred when Mozart was the ripe old age of 25, which is usually considered to be his first mature opera.The opera takes place on the island of Crete immediately after the Trojan War.

Siegfried et l’art du chant au Théâtre des Champs-Élysées

Pierre Michel, 19th April

Pour ce troisième volet du Ring proposé en version de concert par Yannick Nézet-Séguin et l'Orchestre philharmonique de Rotterdam, c'est le plateau vocal qui brille avant tout, éclipsant l'orchestre et le chef.

Michael Fabiano fait trembler le Capitole dans Otello

Arnaud Saura-Ziegelmeyer, 14th April

Pour ses débuts à Toulouse, le ténor américain se distingue dans le rôle-titre de l'ouvrage verdien. Mise en scène, plateau vocal et fosse s'associent parfaitement pour livrer la quintessence du drame.

John Johnston was a contributor to Bachtrack 2017-19. John was a true gentleman and lifelong opera "nut" who frequently travelled across Europe to catch performances, making regular pilgrimages to the Bayreuth Festival among others. His supreme knowledge and appreciation of voices meant he took to reviewing like the proverbial duck to water. We enjoyed his style and his insatiable appetite for catching rare operas and new productions wherever he could.
