Performer: Umberto Chiummo

An unlikely coupling of one-act operas by Zemlinsky and Puccini bears fruit in a staging that reveals their thematic parallels while leaving their obvious differences on show.

The singing is the main attraction in Dutch National Opera’s Le nozze di Figaro, but this new production is also entertaining and looks good enough to eat.

Scottish Opera's La Cenerentola is colourful, fun-filled and packed with tunes. Russian mezzo Victoria Yarovaya shines in the title role.

What man wants most is that which he cannot have. With a great deal of humour and attention to detail, Dieter Dorn leads Figaro and the household of his baronial palace through its “day of madness” to give us an evening of wonder.

Un equipo artístico totalmente inspirado ha engendrado una de las mejores producciones de la temporada en el Teatro Real

Composée en 1812 par Rossini tout juste âgé de 20 ans, L’occasione fa il ladro est une burletta ou petite farce où l’on sourit souvent. Elle cache cependant une réelle profondeur sur les questions de l’amour et de belles prouesses techniques.
