Performer: Kristinn Sigmundsson

Both vocally and instrumentally the performance  was a high-class one

Iván Fischer's minimalist staging of Don Giovanni makes a triumphant return to Mupa, Budapest.

Strauss' 'conversation piece' of an opera is given a warmly sympathetic production with the musical rewards coming as much from the pit as the stage.

In James Conlon's final performance as music director of Ravinia, he presented a magnificent Flying Dutchman with a stellar cast.

Director Trevore Ross emphasized the silly and the madcap in Beaumarchais’ hectic plot to The Barber of Seville. The audience loved it. 

A triumph for Los Angeles Opera's new production of John Corigliano's The Ghosts of Versailles.
