Following success in New York and Madrid, Oropesa gives Covent Garden a Violetta that will be difficult to better.

Oliver Mears’ first production since becoming Director of Opera also heralds the start of a new Royal Opera season, with a full house finally returning after the long Covid hiatus.

This was meant to be Pretty Yende's night, but it was Armenian tenor Liparit Avetisyan who stole hearts as country bumpkin Nemorino.
