Work: Macbeth: Ballet Music

Daniele Rustioni pairs orchestral music of Verdi and Wagner in his concert with the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra, prior to taking up the post of Guest Principal Conductor in April.

Riccardo Muti and the Luigi Cherubini Youth Orchestra perform orchestral scores by Giuseppe Verdi, Giacomo Puccini and Giuseppe Martucci.

Mark Elder and the LPO's performance of Puccini's Le Willis proved interesting and frustrating in equal measure, rescued by a star performance from Ermonela Jaho.
