[…] Asmik Grigorian and to be conducted by Philippe Jordan. Among the premieres are also Calixto Bieito's Carmen (with Anita Rachvelishvili, Charles Castronovo and Erwin Schrott); Simon Stone's La traviata already seen in Paris, here with Pretty Yende and Frédéric Antoun; Macbeth directed by Barrie Kosky, premiered in Zurich in 2016 (with Luca Salsi and Anna Netrebko); or Eugene Onegin by Dmitri TCherniakov imported from the Bolshoi; but also The Coronation of Poppea, which Jan Lauwers directed for the Salzburg Festival in 2018 (again with Kate Lindsey as Nerone, but Slávka Zámečniková as Poppea, instead of Sonya Yoncheva).

Fashionable voices said otherwise; they are no more to be heeded than in Stockhausen’s case. The Royal Opera’s new From the House of the Dead (Warlikowski again, in a long awaited house premiere) also shone, not least on account of Mark Wigglesworth’s typically first-rate conducting. […]
