Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Douglas Kelly

An updated staging of this 17th-century opera, with great singing and acting, is more successful than its somewhat distracting updated orchestration. 

Director Constantine Costi updates the action  of Mozart's Singspiel to a secluded cross between a cult headquarters and a nightclub. 

Ravishing music and performances, a crazy G&S plot, but physicality that tends to distract in Constantine Costi's production.

Monteverdi’s Il ritorno d’Ulisse in patria is given the Pinchgut treatment, with an abstract staging complementing historically informed music-making under Erin Helyard.
