When death is an old-fashioned portrait
The new version of La bohème at the Komische Oper Berlin follows a hard Verismo-beat.
Pelléas et Mélisande: Kosky's sleep-talking, nightmare
There’s no doubt that Mélisande endeavours to escape past troubles when she first appears in Barrie Kosky’s production of Debussy’s opera, yet Nadja Mchantaf is no reticent, wispy maiden.

Kosky's compelling Onegin returns to the Komische Ope

La Fenice's superb new Widow is always Merry, even without sequins and ostrich feathers
