Performer: Kristine Opolais

Two notable debuts dominate Oper Leipzig's notable Lady Macbeth revival: Kristine Opolais as Katerina and Andris Nelsons in the pit. 

Andris Nelsons brings his Shostakovich project to a close in Boston with an incandescent performance of Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk. 

Marina Abramović's reflection on fame, artistry and death makes an enthralling Italian debut at the Teatro di San Carlo.

After a few streamed events with chamber forces, the full orchestra and chorus returned to the House – albeit not in their usual positions – for an entertaining fundraising gala.

Red-blooded performances from the three principals at Covent Garden, even if there are vocal misfires along the way. 

Next June and July will see MS6’s latest in impressively starry music-focused cruises, a 15-day journey to many locations around the Mediterranean, aboard the opulent liner Explora I.

The Latvian soprano on facing up to the ghost of Maria Callas, what it means to be an artist and her love affair with Puccini. 

Elīna Garanča, Kristine Opolais and Mariss Janson lead an outstanding season of concerts in Latvia.
