Jack Furness serves up an unappetising mess of Humperdinck's delicious masterpiece for Royal Academy Opera. 

Jude Christian's indulgent reinvention of Puccini's opera does not serve English Touring Opera well as it embarks on its spring tour. 

An outstanding performance from Rachel Nicholls lights up Carmen Jakobi's compelling production of Korngold's exploration of grief.

Osipova's memorable performance tops a fine new production at the Queen Elizabeth Hall. 

Stephen Unwin's straight direction and some talented young singers from the Royal Academy of Music Opera school made these two works a real treat.
