Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro is in the soprano’s DNA, but she’s never thought about directing it. Creating her own production has been daunting and fascinating – and her son’s building blocks even helped

Phelim McDermott’s 2014 production addresses the cynicism, cruelty and outdated sexual politics of Mozart’s opera with humour and sass; a strong cast make this an enjoyable evening

With a luxury cast bringing anguish, believability and vocal perfection to Mozart’s opera of love and divided loyalty, this concert performance was flawless

The Gran Partita is a supreme instrumental masterpiece and Baldeyrou and his ensemble do it full justice in this first disc of a Mozart series

The 2016 production – revived by Max Hoehn – emphasises the farcical rather than subversive aspects of Mozart’s opera. It took a while to settle down, with conductor Kerem Hasan setting a frenetic pace

There is much fun and an excellent cast in David McVicar’s sparkling Handel revival; Mozart’s partner-swap opera soars with exuberant solos; and Wagner’s Ring marathon reaches a roaring climax
