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.
A very wicked village: Britten's Albert Herring at the RCM
The laughs keep on coming in Liam Steel's glorious 1950s Albert Herring in an English village where pretensions rise as morals decay, while Nick Pritchard shines as our modest eponymous hero.
