Performer: Thorbjørn Gulbrandsøy

Christoph Loy's Oslo production of Wozzeck is a dramatic triumph, with gripping performances from a cast led by Audun Iversen's desperate title character.

Calixto Bieito's Tosca, despite an intriguingly modern setting, fails to make sparks fly.

Despite some very creditable orchestral playing, conductor Joshua Weilerstein never quite got anywhere with his programme of Bach, Weill and Brahms.
