Tête-à-Tête opens with groundbreaking community opera, an interesting piece of Jamaican history, and two superb solo operas from the talented Tim Benjamin, finishing on a high with the glorious Silent Jack.
Tim Benjamin's new opera is full of good ideas: too full, of too many of them, with a lacklustre and tired plot that doesn't deliver what it promises, despite a gifted and committed cast who resolutely try their best.
