Aided by spirited singers and enthusiastic musicians, director Ondřej Havelka brings an imaginative, ironic touch to a lesser-known Smetana opera.

Laurent Pelly's long-standing production of Offenbach's opéra-fantastique returns to the Deutsche Oper Berlin, under the baton of Emmanuel Villaume.

The Opernhaus Zürich revives Christof Loy’s production with a new young cast under the baton of Fabio Biondi.

Stage director Ole Anders Tandberg casts Carmen as the leader of a gang of human organ dealers.
