Performer: Erika Sunnegårdh

With so little of worth happening onstage, this performance requires a unanimously strong set of performances from the main cast.

Iain Paterson's house debut as the Holländer was sufficient reason to drop anchor in the Main for this revival of David Bösch's 2015 production. 

The lights dimmed and an announcer explained that following the destruction of earth’s ecosystem, there had been a scramble to rocket bases and a rush to transport surviving life to the nearest planet, Mars.

Atom Egoyan’s production of Richard Strauss’ Salome is styled for extreme contrasts. You could think of it as Springtime for Herod in Judea. While patrons spilling out of limos, taxis and Wheel-Trans were gathering on this magnolia blossom-filled May Day evening in the plaza outside the opera house’s glass façade, a parade hedged by bicycle cops was filing by.

Este Lear de Calixto Bieito constituye la mejor propuesta hasta el momento de la temporada de Teatro Real.

Dans cette reprise d'une production créée en 2016, Bo Skovhus est magistral dans le rôle-titre. L'œuvre s'avère une nouvelle fois un des moments forts de la programmation de l’Opéra de Paris.
