Instrument: Countertenor

After a seven month delay, Willem Jeths' new opera finally receives its long awaited world premiere in front of a live audience.

Three beautiful cantatas from Bach and his Mass in F major made for a rewarding concert with the Bach Collegium Japan. Suzuki directs a thoughtful and heartfelt rendition and is joined by a quartet of excellent soloists. 

James Conway's production for English Touring Opera returns in a trimmed-down, single-evening guise. 

The evening’s most unbuttoned applause was reserved for two native anglophone artists, countertenor Patrick Terry and bass-baritone Michael Mofidian.

Matthew Aucoin’s Eurydice enjoys its world premiere at LA Opera. 

Deutsche Oper Berlin’s new production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a delightful and whimsical homage to Britten’s masterpiece. The orchestra, soloists and children’s chorus performed with energy and charm under the baton of Donald Runnicles.
