Opus Arte Critics' Choice Collection Preview

A sneak peek at the titles joining this exciting series throughout the remainder of 2024.

The Opus Arte Critics’ Choice series is a diverse range of titles, featuring some of the most acclaimed recordings in the label’s catalogue at a very special price. In this series we celebrate many famous classics while also revisiting some of the more innovative, original and perhaps less well-known productions that the label has long been renowned for showcasing. All the new Critics' Choice releases contain the beautifully designed, original artwork and colour booklets which, along with a new unique cover design uniting all the titles, makes them ideal for collectors.

Beginning back in March 2024, there are now 14 titles in the series, showcasing a variety of classic and contemporary ballet, opera and theatre in a mixture of traditional and modern settings.

Three more titles are lined up for the rest of the year, including some festive delights – perfect Christmas gifts:

Coming 27 September:
Scottish Ballet’s The Secret Theatre - A Christmas Special: In a deserted city, a young boy stumbles into a theatre. He wanders through the auditorium, where rows of velvet chairs, draping curtains and chandeliers seem to lie in lonely wait for audiences to return. The theatre may be empty, but the show will go on...

Coming 25 October:
Scottish Ballet’s The Snow Queen: From the bustle of a winter’s market to the shivers of a fairytale forest, take a journey to the Snow Queen’s icy palace.

Coming 15 November:
Strauss: Die Fledermaus, Glyndebourne 2003: Glyndebourne’s pulsating production of the Waltz King’s much-loved comic operetta.
