Comedy fails to spark in Laurent Pelly's new production of Falstaff at the Teatro Real. 

Emilio Sagi’s brightly lit but simplistic staging of Il viaggio a Reims moves the action from northern France to a sunny spa hotel in warmer climes.

The revival of Pierre Audi’s production of Handel's Alcina at the Amsterdam Stadsschouwburg is blessed with an excellent cast, led by Sandrine Piau who gives an unforgettable performance as the sorceress.

Laurent Pelly's production of Giulio Cesare is a play of references to antiquity, heroism and myth. However, it does not thrill. 

Ambrogio Maestri reprises his star turn as a vocally and theatrically complete Falstaff in Robert Carsen’s lavish, food-fuelled situational comedy at the Holland Festival.

Un concierto marcado por el impresionismo musical, con protagonismo del color en las secciones y una coral cargada energía sinfónica para recrear historias en el agua.
