Performer: Hugo de Ana

Huge de Ana's staging is carefully crafted but feels dramaturgically outdated as the Teatro di San Carlo heads into the twilight of sovrintendente Stéphane Lissner’s final season. 

A somewhat disappointing new production by Hugo de Ana brings I vespri siciliani back to La Scala, where Fabio Luisi leads a successful musical production with a great cast.

Opening the 2022 Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro, Hugo de Ana's new production plunges Le Comte Ory into Hieronymus Bosch’s lusty triptych. 

In a disappointing revival of Hugo de Ana's clichéd and clumsy production, Liudmyla Monastyrska and Violeta Urmana confronted each other with their superb vocal techniques and diverging styles.

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

Kitsch and grand-opera in Hugo de Ana's production of Samson et Dalila in Turin.
