Sir Mark Elder conducts The Hallé in a stirring semi-staged production of Madama Butterfly.

An Elektra conducted like Mendelssohnian fairy music, sung not shouted, just as Strauss required.

Fiona Shaw's production doesn't always get everything right, but Lucy Crowe's debut as the Countess is the defining success of the this revival.

An energetic performance of Johann Strauss' Die Fledermaus, showcased both the work and some very fine young singers.

Jonathan Dove's joyous old-fashioned fairytale, magically realised in a very stylish production including some wonderfully original puppetry, is a fabulous talent showcase from British Youth Opera - and fun for all the family.
