Bruno Ravella's effective production was seen in Wexford in its original 1822 version, but Donizetti Opera opts for the composer's 1824 revision, throwing the spotlight onto Cecilia Molinari's excellent Abenamet. 

Unimpeachable voices and fine playing light up The Royal Opera's latest revival of Kasper Holten's dark staging.

A fresh, gleaming production of director Elena Barbalich, with as much vaudeville as possible

This production fell just short of brilliance but showed how relevant and thought-provoking opera as an art form can be when tapping into today's headline debates.

The Festival della Valle d'Itria opened with a 20th century opera of some musical value, but of much more historical and philological interest for scholars.

Donnée la dernière fois au Capitole en 2018, la production du metteur en scène et chorégraphe rencontre à nouveau le succès, avec une nouvelle distribution à la hauteur de l'enjeu.
