Latest issue

In the October issue of Opera Now, we meet Benjamin Bernheim – a sensitive, charming tenor who is bringing new psychological insights to some of opera’s most well-known romantic leads. Elsewhere, Russian soprano Elena Stikhina discusses her preparations for her latest Verdi role, which she is currently singing at the Royal Opera House in London; this year’s Janáček Festival Brno focuses on the composer’s highly distinctive operas and works by his lesser-known contemporaries; and our report from the inaugural early music singing competition at the Aria Borealis Festival in Norway. Plus, the stylish, quirky opera designs of takis; challenging racism in Cincinnati Opera’s world premiere; ENO’s Annilese Miskimmon discusses her Favourite Things; reviews of the best live performances and new recordings; and our World Wide Opera Guide.
