Performer: Symfonisch Orkest Opera Ballet Vlaanderen

Not a great day for the patriarchy: Ersan Mondtag's gripping new Salome emphasises grotesque caricatures and ends with a bloody, plot-twisting coup d’état.

Estonia has produced some remarkable musicians, among them Anu Tali, Kristiina Poska and Maria Seletskaja, who have each found their own path to an international conducting career.
