Performer: Lina Johnson

The Catalan conductor and his Concert des Nations bring an all-Mozart programme to the Berlin Philharmonie, with the help of the basset clarinet. 

More relevant than ever, the patriarchal nightmare of Verdi's Rigoletto is dark and unflinching in Scottish Opera's revival of their 2011 production, with some striking scenes and fine singing.

Rolf Wallin and Mark Ravenhill’s new opera Elysium tackles fundamental questions about humanity itself, and largely succeeds. Despite slightly uneven music and libretto, the performers shine in this sci-fi opera.
