Bang to rights: a rare outing for an opera from the former GDR
Die Verurteilung des Lukullus, Paul Dessau and Bertolt Brecht's political satire about a Roman general judged for his deeds after death, has lost none of its relevance in Staatsoper Stuttgart's new production.
Buffa or bullying? Don Pasquale on Glyndebourne Tour
Not quite as innocent an account of opera buffa as others, but for quality of musicianship, Glyndebourne Tour's revival of Mariame Clément’s production of Donizetti's comedy hits all the right notes.
Rothko meets Rococo in the Staatsoper's new Il barbiere di Siviglia
A bit too much buffo and scenic sensory overload mar the otherwise new enjoyable Il barbiere di Siviglia in Vienna.
Devilish downpour cannot dampen The Soldier's Tale at the EIF
Rarely has so distinguished a group been assembled to give this work live; it would have shone as a highlight even in a normal year of visiting foreign ensembles and performers.
The Grange Festival opens with Britten's Dream
Britten's four lovers were costumed in quasi-contemporary, even glamorous manner, stripping to their underwear for the end of Act 2... so more Love Island than Ancient Athens.
Beautiful Sing, but no Spiel: an unusual Munich Entführung
Ivor Bolton leads the Bayerische Staatsorchester in a delightful musical rendition of Mozart’s masterpiece, with a great performance by Pavol Breslik as Belmonte.
Lear in Munich: brilliant performance, but lifelessly staged
A superb cast of singers is let down by Christoph Marthaler's cold, stilted staging as Reimann's Lear returns to its birthplace.
