The Temple of Opera has opened its doors to operetta. For the first time the Teatro alla Scala is staging Johann Strauss' Die Fledermaus.

Zubin Mehta brings a great deal of class to most things he conducts at La Scala, and here his bright account of Mozart's score was a joy. 

Belgian conductor and baroque specialist René Jacobs demonstrates his iconoclastic approach to Mozart with an excitingly theatrical Abduction from the Seraglio at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.

Konzertant und dennoch an Bildern reich präsentierte die Oper Graz Edvard Griegs Bühnenmusik zu Henrik Ibsens Drama.

Mit einer topbesetzten Fledermaus feierte Kirill Petrenko den Auftakt eines vielversprechenden Opernjahrs 2016.
