Inspired by Annie Ernaux’s The Years, Philip Venables’ new opera widens the canvas to take in the whole of Europe’s postwar generation. 

Zingarelli's Giulietta e Romeo won the favour of no less than Napoleon I himself and a new production at the Opéra Royal offers an appropriately regal setting in which to see Gilles Rico's new production of this once famous opera.

Vincent Huguet's 2019 production of Richard Strauss‘ masterpiece is given a stupendous revival at the Wiener Staatsoper with an excellent ensemble of soloists.
