The Canadian Opera Company’s season opening production is musically excellent, but the dated, dull production adds little. 

A concert performance of a middle period rarity is part of a slimmed down festival which transfers to an online format to audiences across the globe.

This is one of Michieletto's simplest stagings yet, the imagery used to a minimum to allow for focus on the psychological core.

La Fenice presents Rossini’s monumental farewell to Italy and to 18th-century tradition in Ligorio’s elegant new production with a superb cast.

The first staging of Bellini's Norma in Oslo in over a century is unfortunately hampered by an irritating production, yet some glorious singing does much to rescue the show.

Mohammed Fairouz’s second opera, The New Prince, premiered in Amsterdam, is directed by Lotte de Beer as a colourful, dizzyingly fast-paced  revue.
