Performer: Ida Ränzlöv

The Swedish mezzo accepts her award from the Birgit Nilsson foundation with an impressive prizewinner’s recital.

After dipping its toe in the cherry blossom for Glyndebourne's Tour in 2016, Annilese Miskimmon's staging of Puccini's gut-wrencher hits the main festival.

Timothy Edlin was a superb ass, first among six equals, in Liam Steel's production. 

The Royal College of Music's first opera of the season, The Cunning Little Vixen has some excellent singing and first-class playing from the student orchestra.

Zwar gibt es hier viel zu lachen, aber die zweifellos brillante Regie betont vornehmlich die Komik. Was noch an Tiefgang in der Oper steckt, nämlich die bittere Erkenntnis, zu wieviel Zynismus doch auch die Menschen fähig sind, kommt dadurch etwas zu kurz.

Der neue Stuttgarter Ring erfährt unter Regisseur Marco Štorman einen bilderreichen aber einfallslosen Abschluss.

With a repertoire of over thirty roles, and appearing at houses and festivals from Glyndebourne to Stuttgart to Stockholm, the Swedish mezzo-soprano is already highly accomplished.
