Hot on the heels of their modern-day take on Salome, Heartbeat Opera returns with another economical but inventive staging of a classic. 

Arab-American tenor Karim Sulayman devises a thoughtful pastiche that centers the perspective omitted from Early Modern depictions of the Middle East in music.

The final opera in Sir John Eliot Gardiner's Monteverdi 450 trilogy features an excellent cast and inspires deep emotion.

Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria, the second opera of the Monteverdi 450 trilogy being toured by Sir John Eliot Gardiner, had a strong performance in Salzburg.

In der Lachmuskeln strapazierenden Inszenierung formationseigenen Gilbert Blins gelingt dem BEMF ein Opernspaß, der es absolut verdient, vermehrt sein fantastisches Unwesen treiben zu dürfen.

Clôturant cette triologie Monteverdi, Le Couronnement de Poppée nous démontre une nouvelle fois l'alchimie palpable entre les solistes, l'orchestre des English Baroque Soloists et Sir John Eliot Gardiner, qui composent ensemble une fresque des passions humaines aussi réjouissante que complexe.
