Die ENO war in der letzten Woche aus den falschen Gründen in den Nachrichten und Richard Jones' Meistersinger von Nürnberg musste dringend eine großartie Produktion werden. Mit einer glänzenden Vorstellung von Iain Paterson ist sie das.

A passionate revival of Longborough's 2015 production with outstanding performances from the principals.  

English National Opera's new Tristan is at its best when responding to Anish Kapoor's stunning stage sculptures.

Saffron Opera Group's opening salvo bodes exceptionally well for their planned full cycle of concert performances of Wagner's Ring over the next two years. 

Richard Strauss's Ariadne auf Naxos boasts the most confusing cast list of any opera. Ariadne and Bacchus feature either as themselves or as "primadonna" and "tenor", in addition to figures from Greek mythology, we get Commedia dell'arte names like Scaramuccio and Truffaldino, there are backstage characters like the composer, the music master and the wigmaker, and a spoken part of the Major-Domo.
