Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | William Morgan

With misplaced horse heads, violin case guns and as many mafia gags as you could hope for, Scottish Opera’s Merry Widow may not be subtle but it looks and sounds gorgeous. 

Marx in London! receives its UK premiere in Glasgow, with David Parry conducting the colourful score, and Stephen Barlow directing. 

A semi-staged concert that boasts strong musical performances and appealing production values makes a spirited case for reappraising Gilbert and Sullivan's penultimate collaboration.

Stuart Maunder directs a lavishly costumed cast, Derek Clark conducts fine playing and singing and Isabel Baquero’s choreography sparkles.
