Mascagni's Isabeau at Opera Holland Park
An embarrassingly trite libretto proves unsalvageable, even with a committed cast of singers.
A solid, dramatic staging for Rigoletto in Naples
A trusty and convincing version of the masterpiece, with a cast of well-matched singers.
Jürgen Flimm's farewell to the Staatsoper Berlin
Jürgen Flimm bowed out of his role as Intendant of the Berlin State Opera with the German premiere of Salvatore Sciarrino's Ti vedo, ti sento, mi perdo.
A game of two halves: Ariadne auf Naxos at Longborough
Ariadne auf Naxos shines in an ultra-contemporary world of high net worth tantrums at Longborough Festival Opera, complete with glam rock fairies, giant string, and glorious music.
Pelléas et Mélisande: Kosky's sleep-talking, nightmare
There’s no doubt that Mélisande endeavours to escape past troubles when she first appears in Barrie Kosky’s production of Debussy’s opera, yet Nadja Mchantaf is no reticent, wispy maiden. Every vocal and physical gesture – always precise and penetrating – displays an atypically forthright quest for vitality, something that Arkel’s chauvinistic world does not readily offer.
Tosca finally set in its own time and place
After a number of eccentric stagings, Mario Pontiggia's traditional production is a hit in Naples.
Penetrating Schreker’s kaleidoscopic score
Franz Schreker’s Die Gezeichneten (The Branded One) is an unsettling work given the storyline’s background of abduction and clandestine sexual abuse. Calixto Bieito, as expected, eschews ambiguity regarding what goes on behind the scenes, and casts even the titular cripple Alviano Salvago in a damning light.
