Redemption Song: Jenůfa triumph signals a bright future for Hrůsa
Corinne Winters is phenomenal as the self-possessed Jenůfa in The Royal Opera's revival of Claus Guth's powerful staging.
An immaculately executed Bartered Bride at Garsington
Natalya Romaniw is a natural as our maligned heroine: Paul Curran creates staging of bewildering comic complexity and pulls it off with panache.
Jack the Ripper: The Women of Whitechapel
Daniel Kramer’s direction is a model of restraint compared to some of his earlier work for the company.
A stylish Rake's Progress from Jurowski and the LPO
Toby Spence, Matthew Rose and Andrew Watts shine in a fluent semi-staging at the Royal Festival Hall.

Sir Bryn Terfel’s Falstaff is still a cherishable rogue as he takes on the title role in Robert Carsen’s joyous staging at the Royal Opera.
Witty and poignant tale of airport life at Scottish Opera
Jonathan Dove’s witty Flight at Scottish Opera is finely sung by a tight ensemble with standout performances from Jennifer France and James Laing.
