Opera lies at the heart of Rimsky-Korsakov's colourful idiom, but performances are few and far between; this realisation of his penultimate and grandest stage work is a very rare and special experience. Kitezh is known as "the Russian Parsifal", which encapsulates its mystical flavour and steady unfolding of a legend of redemption
Spoletta - A police agent
Cuando Antonio Pappano, el director musical de la Royal Opera House de Londres, levantó la batuta el 14 de julio de 2011 para dirigir “Tosca” de Puccini, el público sabía que se acercaba una velada muy especial. Tres superestrellas se unieron en el escenario por primera vez y encarnaron los papeles principales del famoso drama musical: Angela Gheorghiu en el papel principal, Jonas Kaufmann como Cavaradossi y Bryn Terfel como Scarpia. "Tres elementos poderosos crean una química explosiva", escribió The Times, refiriéndose a los tres personajes principales, cuya red emocional de amor, odio, pasión y celos impulsa el drama Tosca en el contexto de las guerras napoleónicas. Angela Gheorghiu se movió vocal y dramáticamente en un cosmos de matices de expresión: "expresó la vulnerabilidad de Tosca con una poesía lírica de luz plateada, pero luego cambió a gutural-animal cuando se paró sobre el cadáver de Scarpia", continúa el Times.

Live from the Royal Opera 2008. David McVicar’s powerful 2008 production of Strauss's opera – based on a play by Oscar Wilde – takes the controversial and disturbing film 120 Days of Sodom as its visual reference. The action is set in a debauched palace, which has suggestions of Nazi Germany. Strauss’s ravishing and voluptuous score adds to the sexual alchemy that is conjured by an international cast led by Nadja Michael in the title role. Salome is filmed for the big screen with High Definition cameras and recorded in true surround sound.
