Christof Loy’s psychological staging returns to the stage of Finnish National Opera, with Swedish soprano Elisabet Strid compelling in the title role. 

Alex Ollé focuses in the princess's trauma to provide a back story for Puccini’s problematic last opera; Eri Nakamura captivates the New National Theatre audience.

Splendid performances and a Nazi makeover turns Puccini's political tragedy into a visceral experience.

San Diego Opera's main stage offering proved that even a warhorse can remain thoroughly enchanting when a production looks and sounds as beautiful as this company’s Madama Butterfly.

Verdi’s opera Macbeth is often considered less successful than his later operas, and considerably less so than his other two Shakespeare operas, Falstaff and Otello.

À l'exception de la direction intéressante d'Antonino Fogliani à la tête de l'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, il n'y a pas grand-chose à saluer dans cette production clinquante, dénuée de la moindre cohérence artistique.
