Die Frau ohne Schatten from Kosky and Mäkëla in Aix
Klaus Mäkelä and the Orchestre de Paris give us an orchestral kaleidoscope, Kosky's pared-down staging allows the emotions of Strauss and Hofmannstahl's work to shine through.
A birthday reimagining of Il viaggio a Reims in Salzburg
In Barrie Kosky’s hyperactive staging, Il viaggio a Reims becomes a birthday tribute to Cecilia Bartoli complete with rewritten text, extravagant costumes, sexual escapades and a giant cake.

Timo Riihonen and Ester Pavlů stand out in a strong cast which carries Andreas Homoki's revised version of Wagner's final opera.
Ludovic Tézier delivers a noble Nabucco in Naples

A pasticcio of superb musicianship is the main event at the Venice-themed Whitsun Festival.
Well cast, high-quality singers in Royal Opera Trovatore revival
