Dvořák: Rusalka
Sally Matthews (Rusalka), Alexander Roslavets (Vodnik), Evan Leroy Johnson (Prince), Patricia Bardon (Ježibaba)
London Philharmonic Orchestra, Robin Ticciati, Melly Still
A deeply satisfying production...Spectacular to look at, too, with death-defying stage flying...the closing pages of the score blaze rather than smoulder with Robin Ticciati and the LPO playing... — More…

The Glyndebourne Chorus & Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, Robin Ticciati (conductor)...
Grandage's 2011 Glyndebourne production excels where it matters: in the truthfulness and warmth of these very human characters' interrelationships...Priante is simply the best [Figaro] I've seen...Ticciati,... — More…

Orff: Carmina Burana
Sally Matthews (soprano), Lawrence Brownlee (tenor) & Christian Gerhaher (baritone)
Berliner Philharmoniker, Rundfunkchor Berlin & Knabenchor des Staats- und Domchores Berlin, Sir Simon Rattle
Superlative soloists add lustre to Orff's barbaric blockbuster in this Berlin New Year's Eve concert. Oddly coarse images: the musicians look as if they've been roasting under sun lamps. — More…

Annabel Arden’s dark staging of Rachmaninov’s opera and her brilliantly funny view of Puccini’s comedy make for a perfect Glyndebourne evening. Sergei Leiferkus and Alessandro Corbelli are memorable... — More…
