Launching that most ambitious of endeavours, a Ring cycle, Grange Park Opera’s production of Das Rheingold proves a real achievement, led by the superb Alberich of David Stout.

Polly Graham's production turns semi-opera into “three-quarters opera”, to good effect.

Bampton’s “mission to rescue unjustly neglected classical period opera” is vindicated once again with a fresh, fun account of the near-lost original source for Rossini's La Cenerentola: Isouard's Cendrillon. 

Anna Pool's gorgeous retelling of a traditional Norwegian folk tale makes for an original, witty, charming opera... with a singing polar bear who will surely steal your heart.
