Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Max Hoehn

Gothic Opera's seventh outing is a powerful performance of Jacques Offenbach’s little known Die Rheinnixen at Battersea Arts Centre.

Max Hoehn takes Così‘s subtitle, La scuola degli amanti (The School for Lovers), and connects it to Monty Python’s sex education sketch in The Meaning of Life. What larks, eh? 

A solid Figaro in Cardiff, in which individual performances are a joy, and humour abounds. 

In Memoirs of a Pear-Shaped Life, Erik Satie, the eccentric French Normandy composer, was defined on stage in three different forms, each with a bowler hat, in a music theatre performance of Satie's life.
