Performer: Marzia Marzo

A strong ensemble cast and a playful production make for a highly enjoyable evening in the company of Mozart's Così fan tutte.

Both the staging and the music of the Bayerische Staatsoper's Traviata disappoint.

There's much to recommend this Turco, including stunning vocal fireworks by Olga Peretyatko and moments of comedic gold in the staging. But this production also reinforces some ugly racial and gender stereotypes.
