Paradise reduced: New Sussex Opera's Delius
Matthew Rye, 28th March
Despite a much reduced orchestra and a slightly awkward staging, New Sussex Opera's production of Delius's A Village Romeo and Juliet still gave us the chance to wallow in a glorious late-Romantic score.

Sickly sweet: Ambroise Thomas' Mignon
Charlotte Valori, 24th November
Fine soprano performances from Ruth Jenkins-Róbertsson and Victoria Simmonds can't save Ambroise Thomas's inanimate object of a plot. Thank goodness Wagner saved us from more of the same.

Add a pinch of fairy dust: Weber's Oberon
Charlotte Valori, 25th November
New Sussex Opera's warm-hearted community production of Oberon took on Weber's sprawlingly chaotic final opera - and won.

Confusion clouds any central critique in Clément's Don Giovanni
Nick Boston, 12th November
Strong musical performances in a flawed and confused production revived for the autumn season at Glyndebourne.

Bargain booze and questionable quackery: L'elisir d'amore at the ROH
Dominic Lowe, 22nd September
A triumphant house debut for Nadine Sierra in the latest revival of Laurent Pelly’s production of Donizetti's joyous village rom-com.

Buffa or bullying? Don Pasquale on Glyndebourne Tour
Dominic Lowe, 10th October
Not quite as innocent an account of opera buffa as others, but for quality of musicianship, Glyndebourne Tour's revival of Mariame Clément’s production of Donizetti's comedy hits all the right notes.

John Johnston was a contributor to Bachtrack 2017-19. John was a true gentleman and lifelong opera "nut" who frequently travelled across Europe to catch performances, making regular pilgrimages to the Bayreuth Festival among others. His supreme knowledge and appreciation of voices meant he took to reviewing like the proverbial duck to water. We enjoyed his style and his insatiable appetite for catching rare operas and new productions wherever he could.
