Performer: Cecilia Molinari

Annabel Arden’s production provides joyous comedy, with vocal and orchestral performances of the very finest.

Bruno Ravella's effective production was seen in Wexford in its original 1822 version, but Donizetti Opera opts for the composer's 1824 revision, throwing the spotlight onto Cecilia Molinari's excellent Abenamet. 

The Borusan Istanbul Philharmonic and Hungarian National Choir give a searing account of Mozart’s Requiem, superbly guided by conductor Carlo Tenan. 

With so many talented young artists appearing in this season, editor Mark Pullinger selects ten we’re particularly excited to follow this year.
