Laurence Cummings and John Caird’s second Garsington exploration of the operas of Monteverdi brims with wonderfully playing and singing in an attractive setting.

Glyndebourne's new production of Lehár's greatest work is interpreted with his customary flair and fun by Cal McCrystal. 

Miller's production, running since 1987, is starting to show its ago, but an excellent performance from Anna Devin keeps English National Opera's latest revival moving.

An excellent singing cast combine with Bruno Ravella's sensitive direction and brilliant orchestral playing to bring to life Strauss' heady mix of farce and high art.

Annilese Miskimmon directs a the first ever production by ENO of Erich Korngold's tale of bereavement, grief and the poisonous impact of lost love on an obsessive mind. 

Bieito’s vivid production of Bizet's most famous work is a classic; his attack on toxic masculinity is visceral, made more potent by an excellent leading pair of singers.

When done as well as this, a "concert staging" is not oxymoronic, but a precise term for a valuable mode of presentation.

A double bill of French operettas shows Guildhall students to advantage as well as providing an introduction to Viardot that's well worth the trip.
