Performer: Olga Peretyatko

For his new staging of Rossini’s Guillaume Tell at the New National Theatre, Tokyo, director Yannis Kokkos avoids specific contemporary references, choosing a setting that transcends the times. 

The ROF presents a new, cheeky production of Adelaide, by Arnaud Bernard, based on a unoriginal but very well executed “meta-theatrical” take, with an exemplary cast.

Polish composer and Mozart contemporary Józef Kozłowski’s Requiem has long been abandoned, but its Asian premiere gives it a deserved new lease of life.

Sir Bryn Terfel relishes every nuance of the text, but Damiano Michieletto's reading of Donizetti's comedy is no laughing matter. 

Internationally acclaimed film director Wim Wenders and Daniel Barenboim give their debut with a rarely played opera by Georges Bizet.

The gambling tables and neon lights of Las Vegas might not be the images which immediately enter your head when you think of Verdi’s Rigoletto, but bold art is often created and progressed by the pushing of boundaries and by challenging audiences to reimagine the familiar.

Written for a dying Polish king, Józef Kozłowski’s rare Requiem in E flat minor is to be given a new lease of life by Hans Graf and the Singapore Symphony.

We continue our Operalia series with Olga Peretyatko, winner of the 2nd Prize in 2007.
