Performer: Jonathan Stockhammer

Barrie Kosky's new production of Philip Glass' Akhnaten for Komische Oper at the Schillertheater removes any egyptological references. 

In Frankfurt, a set of new works sound a little too familiar to one pair of old ears. 

Newly appointed Director of Staatsballett Berlin, Christian Spuck makes his mark with this season opener, a world premiere of Bovary, a ballet based on Gustave Flaubert’s classic novel of 1856. 

Pianist Sunwook Kim returns to the RSNO, while conductor Jonathan Stockhammer builds a coherent triptych out of three highly contrasting pieces.

In Zurich, two sensational ballets by choreographers Johann Inger and Edward Clug pull out all the stops... including those on the water hoses.

Even forty years after its world première in Rotterdam, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui’s new production of Philip Glass’s three-act opera in Basel has particularly timely relevance.
