Mozart’s Così fan tutte returns to Teatro alla Scala in this January 2021 performance, streamed during the pandemic under the musical direction of Giovanni Antonini. The production revives Michael Hampe’s traditional staging, with Lorenza Cantini overseeing the revival and Mauro Pagano’s elegant, Neapolitan-inspired sets and costumes. The opera’s intricate comedy of fidelity, disguise and romantic deception unfolds through the experiment orchestrated by Don Alfonso, testing the love of two young couples. The cast features Eleonora Buratto as Fiordiligi, Emily d’Angelo as Dorabella, Bogdan Volkov as Ferrando, Alessio Arduini as Guglielmo, Federica Guida as Despina and Pietro Spagnoli as Don Alfonso.

As part of the Viva Verdi initiative organized by the Ministry of Culture, the Teatro Comunale di Bologna presents an evening dedicated to the masterpieces of Giuseppe Verdi at the Comunale Nouveau venue. Conducted by Daniel Oren.

An extraordinary event marking the run-up to the opening of the Rome Opera House for the 2025/2026 season and celebrating the 125th anniversary of *Tosca*.

From the Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome, the opening night of the 2024/2025 symphonic season. Maestro Daniel Harding opens the season with *Tosca*, an opera in concert form in three acts by Giacomo Puccini.

For this new production at the Bayerische Staatsoper, stage director Kornél Mundruczó and conductor Andrea Battistoni don’t shy away from the violence in this score and libretto. The 1970s setting presents the action as Cavaradossi incarnating Pier Paolo Pasolini in his final days, filming his controversial movie Salò.

Poor Madame Butterfly! The 15-year-old geisha, who has renounced her family and Japanese traditions for the love of an American naval officer, finds herself abandoned in favour of a Western wife.

Christine Goerke has wowed audiences as Turandot, the icy princess at the heart of Puccini’s grand final masterpiece. In this performance from the 2019–20 Live in HD season, Goerke stars alongside tenor Yusif Eyvazov (as Calàf) and soprano Eleonora Buratto (as Liù) in Franco Zeffirelli’s classic staging, which dazzles with its opulent visions of mythic China. Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin is on the podium, drawing a vivid array of musical colors from the incomparable Met Orchestra and Chorus.

This 2013 Salzburg Festival performance of Falstaff, Giuseppe Verdis late masterwork and crowning achievement, features conductor Zubin Mehta and the Vienna Philharmonic. The staging thought up by Italian director Damiano Michieletto moves the action from a fictitious London to that special care home, the Casa Verdi, a place rich in memories of great days past and impressions of a real-time present. Ambrogio Maestri seems a tailor-made Falstaff. His physique is just right for the part, as are his powerful voice, flair for drama and feeling for the Verdi style. (New York Times)

Considered by some to be the greatest opera ever written, Don Giovanni was the second product of an incredibly fruitful collaboration between two geniuses: the legendary W.A. Mozart and the talented Italian librettist Lorenzo da Ponte. Based on Molière's Don Juan, the two-act dramma giocoso premiered in October 1787 at Prague's state theater to rave reviews. The 2017 Festival d'Aix-en-Provence brought Mozart's fabulously devious work to the stage once more in a production by stage director Jean-François Sivadie. Starring Philippe Sly (Don Giovanni), Nahuel di Pierro (Leporello), and Eleonora Buratto (Donna Anna), the excellent performance featured the acclaimed maestro Jérémie Rhorer at the head of the period instrument ensemble Le Cercle de l'Harmonie.

At the Auditorium Parco della Musica, Mozart’s Symphony No. 39, K. 543, and Rossini’s *Stabat Mater* will be performed to mark the 150th anniversary of the composer’s death.

Mozart's "Idomeneo" is a work about love, hate, jealousy, war and destruction. It shows in a disturbing way the musical genius of the Salzburg composer. Each figure is characterized individually without losing sight of the musical whole. In a way, "Idomeneo" anticipates Wagnerian techniques in composition. The direction of this production at Madrid's Teatro Real was in the proven hands of Robert Carsen, who brings the work to the stage in a contemporary, modern and very disturbing way. Under the sovereign direction of Ivor Bolton, Eric Cutler, David Portillo, Anett Fritsch and Eleonora Buratto are among the singers.

There's an uncompromising clarity to Blu-ray audio and video that really does bring the splendour of grand opera right into the living room. So it's all the more frustrating to get a compromised production as the final product. Jules Massenet's 1894 tragedy about a sex goddess humbled by an insistent Cenobite monk isn't produced very often, because of a demanding lead role and some difficult staging issues. But the music is gorgeous from beginning to end. When you have a great diva at centre stage, the three acts go by in a flash.
