Performer: Roger Honeywell

“Here's Johnny!” Paul Moravec’s opera, based on Stanley Kubrick's film of Stephen King's novel, proves gripping in Eric Simonson's production. 

A title role performance full of depth from Terfel and a barnstorming comic interlude from Tomlinson provide some great moments, but much of this Boris fails to rise above the ordinary.

If you think you know Carmen, think you know Calixto Bieto, then you definitely should head to the Opera House and have your eyes opened on both counts.
