Performer: Stefano Secco

Sir Antonio Pappano and the LSO offer a riveting account of Il prigioniero, an idiosyncratic 20th-century opera. 

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

The staging highlighted Carmen’s rebellious traits more than her sensual exoticism.

An outstanding Azucena and solid vocal and orchestral performances more than make up for David Bösch's unappealing staging.

Two fascinating casts make Peter Konwitschny's stripped-down Traviata a must-see artistic event in Seattle.

Strong vocal and orchestral performances and a tour-de-force staging of Act II light up Grange Park's production of Verdi's political thriller of the dark days of the Spanish inquisition.
