Performer: Matteo Peirone

Originally staged at the Caracalla Baths in 2014, Davide Livermore’s production comes in from the cold. 

Asmik Grigorian is captivating in an unobtrusive production of Puccini's three one-act operas. Under Franz Welser-Möst, the Vienna Philharmonic is on top form.

Despite the setting in a condo, Dante’s staging is basically traditional, to the point of even respecting the original story's 1830s fashions.

Film director Edoardo De Angelis sets his Tosca in a devastated, dystopiian suburb which mirrors and emphasises the opera's social degradation and immoral elements.

Gifted conductor Andrea Battistoni and a vocally seductive cast made this revival of Benedict Andrews’s flawed La bohème a musical triumph.

An unlikely coupling of one-act operas by Zemlinsky and Puccini bears fruit in a staging that reveals their thematic parallels while leaving their obvious differences on show.
