Intérprete: Meriel Andrew

Olivia Fuchs solves the problems of Britten's thorny opera in a brilliant new production that hits the heights, featuring Mark Le Brocq as earthbound scholar, Gustav von Aschenbach.  

Lindy Hume's new production works reasonably well in allowing the story to be told with sufficient emotional weight.

Welsh National Opera brings its 1978 production of Madama Butterfly to Milton Keynes.
