Performer: Claudio Sgura

What do you do when your planned season opener bites the dust? Fly in the stars and put on a concert performance of a verismo favourite. 

With their second open-air concert performance, Teatro di San Carlo scores another hit.

Jonas Kaufmann and Anja Harteros, the “Royal couple” of the Bayerische Staatsoper, enchant and melt hearts as the doomed lovers in Verdi’s late masterpiece.

A movie-like staging for Puccini's most original opera at the Teatro San Carlo.

Calixto Bieito's Tosca, despite an intriguingly modern setting, fails to make sparks fly.

This production at the San Carlo was an excellent, emotional Lucia di Lammermoor, welcomed with empathy by the audience, like an old companion.
