Polish composer and Mozart contemporary Józef Kozłowski’s Requiem has long been abandoned, but its Asian premiere gives it a deserved new lease of life.

Sir Bryn Terfel relishes every nuance of the text, but Damiano Michieletto's reading of Donizetti's comedy is no laughing matter. 

Internationally acclaimed film director Wim Wenders and Daniel Barenboim give their debut with a rarely played opera by Georges Bizet.

The gambling tables and neon lights of Las Vegas might not be the images which immediately enter your head when you think of Verdi’s Rigoletto, but bold art is often created and progressed by the pushing of boundaries and by challenging audiences to reimagine the familiar.

In David Hermann's new production, confusion reigns, but the performance is saved by the singing. 

Does it really matter where an opera is set? These days, this question seems to trail Rigoletto.
