Keith Warner reviews
Verdi: Otello
Jonas Kaufmann, Marco Vratogna, Maria Agresta; Royal Opera Chorus & Orchestra/Antonio Pappano; dir. Keith Warner (
Sony; DVD & Blu-ray)
Wagner: Die Walküre (ROH/Pappano)
Nina Stemme, John Lundgren, et al; Orchestra of the Royal Opera House Covent Garden/Antonio Pappano (Opus Arte / DVD)
An iconic staging of Wagner’s Die Walküre
The cast in this 2018 staging would have been the envy of every world class opera company. The result is just short of perfection
