Jack Furness directs a terrific new Queen of Spades at Garsington – haunting and harrowing. 

It's taken two years for Jack Furness' new production of Dvořák's greatest opera to reach the Garsington stage, but it is entirely worth the wait, with a breathtaking performance from Natalya Romaniw in the title role.

The Philharmonia and Garsington Chorus deliver great performances, as do Natalia Tanasii and Fleur Barron as the two Larina sisters.

When the pandemic struck and theatres were locked down, OperaGlass Works' staging of The Turn of the Screw was an early casualty. Creative thinking turned the production into a film, with London's oldest music hall the set. 

As a hybrid of brilliance and disappointment, this Don Giovanni is in a class of its own.

A compelling and energetic debut production from a new opera company in the raddled surroundings of Wilton's Music Hall.

Debussy’s opera of half-lights succeeds in taming the glare of the midsummer sun in Garsington’s new staging.

Michael Boyd's stylish new production is broadly traditional, apart from beyond-the-grave appearances by Lensky. 

Former RSC Artistic Director Michael Boyd imparts a distinctly Shakespearean flavour to Monteverdi's L'Orfeo in this first collaboration between the Royal Opera and the Roundhouse.
