At the Bregenz Festival, director Philpp Stölzl gives us a radical updating of the classic, with an interpretation many miles away from Weber.

A strong cast carries this satisfying revival of Andreas Homoki's production of Salome at Opernhaus Zürich.

When a voice as potent as Christine Goerke’s has to push to be heard, you know there’s a problem.

Christian Spuck gives choreographic identity to Hans Zender's composed interpretation of Franz Schubert's Winterreise. 

Lawrence Cummings conducts Zurich’s Orchestra La Scintilla in Handel’s oratorio-cum-opera, Belshazzar. The music was celestial; the staging was a bombastic mix of excess and vaudeville.
