"A must-see, must-hear...... It’s the operatic show of the season." (The Times) "When the Royal Opera presented Donizetti's La Fille du régiment last winter for the first time since the 1960s, it was champagne for the soul. At the centre of Laurent Pelly's glittering production was the trio of Natalie Dessay, Juan Diego Flórez and Alessandro Corbelli – and they were not merely three of the greatest voices on the planet." (The Independent)

Libretto: Henri Meilhac & Phillippe Gille

Based on L’Histoire du chevalier Des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut by l’abbé Prévost

"Natalie Dessay and Rolando Villazon bring typically generous commitment to their characters … Time and effort have rounded out [Dessay’s] middle register and added substance to her lower notes, and the French soprano is … making a brilliant success of her transition to the lyric soprano repertoire. Blessed with a physique that favours her credibility in the role of a young girl, she finds the range of nuance to express the excited feelings of [a character] who wants everything now and suffers the consequences … The Mexican tenor … has always excelled at expressing emotion and brings the young lover utterly convincingly to life." "[The conductor] Victor Pablo Pérez shows a special affinity with Massenet’s writing, achieving a flexibility and responsiveness from the orchestra … which brings out all the refinement of a score whose music, while typical of the late 19th century … has moments where it foreshadows subsequent decades."

Libretto: Lorenzo da Ponte

"A true ensemble spirit still exists – in Zurich, at least. A young team of singers has been assembled over the years around General Music Director Franz Welser-Möst and proves itself constantly in very different works as a tightly-knit artistic ensemble. Performances of rarely achieved unity are the result of sensitive nurturing."

Libretto: Libretto by Joseph Méry and Camille du Locle, after Schiller's dramatic poem Don Carlos, Infant von Spanien (Don Carlos, Infante of Spain).

"Antonio Pappano delivers an implacably powerful, mordant drama ... Ferruccio Furlanetto's profoundly troubled Philip dominates. Simon Keenlyside's dauntlessly hyper-energetic Posa raises the dramatic temperature onstage ... and Eric Halfvarson's black-tones inquisitor is the perfect incarnation of evil masquerading as divine truth."

Libretto:

"Pappano's conducting brims over with warmth, detail and dynamism, and the orchestra is on fire for him and Domingo both"
