Not seen for 300 years – yet still bursting with life: #MaxEmanuelCencic stages #PompeoMagno for the opening of Bayreuth Baroque as a vibrant Baroque show with little people, cross-dressers, commedia dell'arte masks, and more than a dozen excellent singers. Conductor…
Who are "The Lucky Ones"? After conducting 80 interviews with people born in the 1940s, Nina Segal and Ted Huffman conclude that it is this generation we're talking about, and they attempt to prove it with a moving collage of memories. Philip Venables draws on old Hollywood, big…
Open foyers, cafés or bars, WiFi-connected workspaces for digital nomads, or even play areas for children? Opera houses are trying to move away from their image as temples of the muses - closed off, reserved only for the initiated - and make themselves accessible to everyone. Our…
After weeks of coaching and learning, of master classes, and hopefully a lot of fun too, the Salzburg Festival is drawing to a close for the 14 scholarship holders of the Young Singers Project salzburgerfestspiele.at/young-singers-…. This programme for young talent was established in 2008,…
Anyone landing a leading role in #Bayreuth has made it to the top. But why do some singers come year after year, others only for one summer, and yet others never at all? As the season 2025 comes to an end, we try to find some answers: oper-magazin.de/themen/bayreut… (German, paywall)
"I Did It My Way": Kicking off the #Ruhrtriennale at the Jahrhunderthalle Bochum, #LarsEidinger and #LarissaSirahHerden, a man and a woman from two different cultures, find themselves separated in search of their own identities. Accompanied by the songs of Frank Sinatra and Nina…
At the Salzburg Festival | @SbgFestival, Mozart is now available as molecular cuisine. Conductor #RaphaëlPichon cooks up a "semi-staged new production" from a wide variety of fragments, based on the unfinished Singspiel #Zaide: A young woman embarks on a search for her mother's…
Laurence Dale’s Covid-era production of "La cambiale di matrimonio" is back at the @Rof_Pesaro | Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro. It’s entertaining enough thanks to pretty sets by #GaryMcCann and #MattiaOlivieri’s comedic talent. Read the review on our website:…
The plot is absurd, the staging by #CalixtoBieito sets additional traps: Rossini’s rarely performed #Zelmira is unlikely to become a hit. But at least #AnastasiaBartoli can shine as a true prima donna in this production at the @Rof_Pesaro | Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro. The…
OPER! CD OF THE MONTH | In May, #DietrichFischerDieskau would have celebrated his 100th birthday; his last student, @BenjaminAppl, pays tribute to the famous teacher with songs by Schubert, Brahms, Wolf, Korngold, Reimann, and others in this "Hommage à Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau."…

How to conduct a dreamily beautiful, singer-friendly #Lohengrin? #ChristianThielemann shows how to do it in limpid detail in this revival of Yuval Sharon's production, set against Neo Rauch's blue stage design. He's never overbearing, restrained in the orchestral tutti, with…
The premiere of #Telemann's opera "Orpheus - The Constancy of Love" finds enthusiastic reception at #Drottningholm in Sweden. Sung in German, Italian, and French, baritone #YannickDebus shines in the title role, Florie Valiquette as the jealous Queen Orasia. The chorus and other…
Worlds collide in #UlrichRasche's staging of Donizetti's #MariaStuarda: two rotating discs, Elisabetta on one side, Maria on the other: powerful images this, thanks in part to the choreography. But above all, this Salzburg Festival premiere is brought to life by #LisetteOropesa's…

In his debut at the @SbgFestival | Salzburg Festival, director Dmitri Tcherniakov sets Handel's "Giulio Cesare in Egitto" in a wartime bunker – an idea that proves increasingly problematic for its distrust of the music. Not so, #EmmanuelleHaïm and Le Concert d'Astrée. With them…
