The Opéra de Lyon presents Britten’s masterpiece for the first time: a triumph, both visually and musically, which is received with great enthusiasm by the audience.

Martin Kušej gives Mozart and Da Ponte's commedia per musica a sinister mafia setting, which is low on laughs but outstandingly performed, led by Lea Desandre's charismatic Cherubino.

The Salzburg Festival's production of Offenbach's Orpheus in the Underworld is another classic in the making from Barrie Kosky.

Vasily Petrenko conducted the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and a fine trio of principals in an excellent semi-staged production of Puccini’s Tosca, directed by Amy Lane.The two performances of the opera form the culmination of Bryn Terfel’s two-week stint as Artist in Residence with the orchestra.

Une vision scénique peu convaincante, mais une interprétation musicale galvanisée par la direction de Daniele Rustioni qui dirige ici sa dernière production lyrique en tant que directeur musical de l'Opéra de Lyon.

Martin Kušej zeigt eine gewalttätige, kunst- und religionsbefreite Tosca, die zum Nachdenken anregt.
