Performer: Karolina Blixt

Janáček’s drama of infanticide is delivered at full power by Nina Stemme and Agneta Eichenholz in Annilese Miskimmon’s well-crafted production. The orchestra, however, are just too loud.

Ole Anders Tandberg's edgy take on Bernstein's satirical operetta is lifted by some good performances but marred by an overpowering orchestra.

A world premiere of an opera by Philip Glass is bound to draw attention... especially when many of its performers are members of a circus troupe.
