Fun, if not quite fizzy: Liam Steel’s Opera Holland Park Fledermaus
It's New Year’s Eve 1929-style, but the Champagne is a touch warm in OHP's first production of Strauss’ most popular operetta, Die Fledermaus.
Nightmares dressed as daydreams: Respighi and Ravel at the RCM
An opportunity to hear one of Respighi's operas in the UK is a real treat; the composer's take on Sleeping Beauty, La bella dormente nel bosco, is an ideal companion to to Ravel's L'Enfant et les sortilèges in a terrific double bill at the Royal College of Music.
Britten's recurring Dream at the Royal College of Music
Timothy Edlin was a superb ass, first among six equals, in Liam Steel's production.
Humdinger of a Gianni Schicchi from ETO
A great return appearance for English Touring Opera's Puccini double bill opening its spring tour at the Hackney Empire.
Fresh, funny, frivolous: Patience in Cambridge
A joyous explosion of tuneful Victorian satire provides an unlikely, yet ideal, contrast to English Touring Opera's Tosca as their Patience tours the UK in this finely-cast, period-perfect production.
Cecilia Bartoli as Maria in Salzburg
A case of “seeing double” in Salzburg, as Cecilia Bartoli brings West Side Story to her Whitsun Festival.
