Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Peter Lidbetter

A handbag? Jack Furness’ uproarious new production of Gerald Barry’s irreverent take Oscar Wilde bares some very sharp teeth. 

Music Director Douglas Boyd conducts a performance of exceptional musical quality, and Louisa Muller's uncontroversial but passionate direction makes this Traviata one for the ages.

It’s a risky business to describe comic nuance or timing, so please take my word that these qualities were as pitch-perfect as the vocal prowess on display.
