Performer: Francesca Zambello

Francesca Zambello sets the whole opera as a flashback, showing, during the prelude, the heroine surrounded by doctors and nurses in a sanatorium for patients dying from tuberculosis.

For the first time, a musical comes to the outdoor stage of the annual Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour. 

A strong new Traviata from Washington National Opera with the welcome house debut of Venera Gimadieva as a fabulous Violetta.

Zambello's politically re-'woke' West Side Story comes to Kansas.

Seattle Opera's memorable Porgy and Bess excels with an exceptional cast who performed with utmost sympathy for their roles.
