The role of Elvira in Bellini’s I puritani contains the most challenging mad scenes in all opera, but soprano Lisette Oropesa dazzles on the opening night of Richard Jones’ new production.

With Aigul Akhmetshina and Seokjong Baek in the title roles, there are reasons to be optimistic, but The Royal Opera’s revival of Richard Jones’ production is a mixed bag.

Mám transports the viewer into another world, surreal yet identifiable at the Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury.

A most entertaining evening of dance theatre from Michael Keegan-Dolan and Rachel Poirier at Sadler's Wells East. 

The Royal Opera's season opener is a welcome return for Tchaikovsky's opera after nine years, and a house debut for American director Ted Huffman.

MÁM is a performance that demands attention through an extraordinary chain of surreal events.

A potent rendering of Alban Berg's tale of the traumatised and impoverished war veteran.

Inspiration eludes the director as a new staging of Saint-Säens’ biblical epic falls flat but for some excellent musical performances led by outstanding mezzo Elīna Garanča. 

An unforgettable evening of contemporary dance with Keegan-Dolan’s Mám in Madrid, with excellent performances from Cormac Begley, s t a r g a z e and Teaċ Daṁsa company.

Christopher Purves bosses the show as Méphistophélès; Richard Jones' production is intelligent and carefully thought through but ultimately unconvincing.

Tough, thrilling, ambitious and new: The Skating Rink is an exciting new major commission by Garsington, and its world première delivered on every level.

A series of ill-advised staging choices leads to a disappointingly drab performance of Monteverdi's Homeric epic.
