Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Oliver Platt

Corinne Winters is phenomenal as the self-possessed Jenůfa in The Royal Opera's revival of Claus Guth's powerful staging. 

Amid all the18th-century flummery, contemporary touches abound as the OHP's post-pandemic season opens. 

A good, honest staging and solid singing add up to an excellent new production – its third – at Opera Holland Park. 

Students triumph in Tchaikovsky's Iolanta and Ravel's L'Enfant et les sortilèges.

As the two sisters, Eleanor Dennis and Kitty Whately ideally complemented and blended with each other.  

Mozart's Don Giovanni is transported by director Oliver Platt to The Queen Mary in the 1930s. It looks handsome enough, but the concept is flawed.

Scottish Opera’s boutique touring production of The Elixir of Love is a fun-filled delight. Fine singing, perfect comic timing, all to a score for just five players. It worked a treat.

Opera Holland Park's traditionally staged Cenerentola has plenty of sparkle and a fine cast of talented singers.

The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland’s opera singers and chamber orchestra are on top form with a moving and thoughtful production of Britten’s Owen Wingrave.

A superbly-sung title role from Ed Ballard is the best part of this otherwise patchy, well-sung but ultimately unmoving Werther from English Touring Opera. 

Opera Holland Park give us a broad span of human joys and tragedies in an excellently staged and acted rendering of Puccini's Il trittico.

Unlike its première, disaster is averted in Opera Holland Park's Il barbiere di Siviglia, where a solidly traditional production is lit up by some splendid vocal performances.
