Performer: Valeriano Lanchas

Comedy fails to spark in Laurent Pelly's new production of Falstaff at the Teatro Real. 

A visually stunning production with a fine cast to match. 

With the many glories of the score and the easy butts of class and marital comedy, it is hard not to be pleased by a Figaro performance, although tonight’s did not sparkle as much as it might have. 

A series of cancellations resulted in an unusual triple bill: a rare Spanish opera, an impromptu concert by Plácido Domingo and Woody Allen's brilliant Gianni Schicchi.

Carlos Álvarez y Miren Urbieta-Vega protagonizan una esperada Tosca en A Coruña con una vibrante Sinfónica de Galicia en el foso.

Arranca el Festival Internacional de Santander por todo lo alto con la producción operística de La flauta mágica de Rolando Villazón, en la que, además de una voces idóneas, David Afkham ha sabido equilibrar elementos para un resultado redondo.
