Performer: José Cura

Tenor-turned-director José Cura transplants the action from southern Italy to Buenos Aires. 

José Cura shines as a designer but brings surprisingly little staging expertise to his latest directorial effort.

Cura's powerful spinto tenor impressed from his opening “Esultate!” and left no doubt as to the Moor's authority.

Strindberg, Munch, Grieg, and Kierkegaard eke out a living in a loft in Stockholm among the joys and sorrows of love and loss.

José Cura's new Bohème in Stockholm features Kierkegaard, Munch, Strindberg, and even Julbocken – but it's Daniele Callegari that proves the main draw.

On a balmy evening in Milan, there was anticipation in the air as queues stretched way back for a sold out performance of Carmen. But a flat atmosphere soon fell in the auditorium itself, with lacklustre singing and confused staging to blame.
