A Finnish swan song: Salminen stars in Boris Godunov at Savonlinna

Norma is presented in its original two-soprano version, in the new critical edition by musicologist Roger Parker. 

Nicola Raab's production doesn't quite provide the bold rethinking it promises, but stylish execution and a fine cast make for an effective modern Traviata. 

A splendid cast led by Ann Hallenberg does justice to an integral version of Handel’s masterpiece under the baton of Ian Page.

Nicola Raab puts Byron at the heart of Il corsaro in her new production for the Palau de les Arts, but doesn’t always know what to do with him.

 A Slovak opera import brings brilliant music weighed down by dreary staging to the Prague Spring Festival. 

Rarement représentée, l'œuvre bénéficie de la mise en scène sobre et éloquente de Nicola Raab, de la direction énergique de Giuliano Carella et d'une distribution cohérente.
