Scottish Opera’s Merry Widow tangles with the New York Mafia

Par David Smythe, 30 avril 2025

With misplaced horse heads, violin case guns and as many mafia gags as you could hope for, Scottish Opera’s Merry Widow may not be subtle but it looks and sounds gorgeous.

Prescient then, terrifying now: The Handmaid’s Tale at English National Opera

Par David Karlin, 01 février 2024

Margaret Atwood’s dystopic novel, masterfully adapted for the operatic stage, is strongly performed at ENO and rings even truer today than it did when it was written.

At Wilton’s Music Hall, a ghost light for Britten’s ghost story

Par Mark Pullinger, 26 janvier 2021

When the pandemic struck and theatres were locked down, OperaGlass Works' staging of The Turn of the Screw was an early casualty. Creative thinking turned the production into a film, with London's oldest music hall the set.

The Grange Festival's Falstaff hits all the right notes

Par Dominic Lowe, 09 juin 2019

Comic opera can fall flat, but if The Grange Festival's new production of Verdi's final masterpiece is a total delight, with a strong concept and a strong cast. This is country-house opera at its best.

An atmosphere filled with dust and testosterone: Bieito’s Carmen returns to ENO

Par Mark Pullinger, 20 mai 2015

Calixto Bieito updates the Carmen to the final years of Franco’s dictatorship and in Joan Anton Rechi’s revival, the results are often gritty and fierce, if unlikely to do anything for the Spanish tourist trade.

Burlesque and bats: Christopher Alden reinvents Die Fledermaus for ENO

Par David Karlin, 30 septembre 2013

This autumn is Strauss and Freud season in London: while the Royal Opera are showing Charles Edwards’s searingly Freudian take on Richard Strauss’s Elektra, ENO have opted for the polar opposite mood with Johann Strauss’s Die Fledermaus: Christopher Alden’s production is just as Viennese, just as laden with dreams and sexuality, but filled to the brim with gags and frivolous decadence.

Sarah Connolly tops a stellar cast in ENO's production of Charpentier's Medea

Par Julia Savage, 15 février 2013

When going to see a new production at ENO, always expect the unexpected. In ENO’s recent history, that has certainly been true, though not always to its credit. Friday’s opening performance of Charpentier’s Medea was no exception to the rule; however, in this case, it was an opulent, stylish and fabulous (in more than one sense) production, complemented by a truly spectacular cast.

Danger, sleaze, passion: Carmen re-imagined at ENO

Par David Karlin, 21 novembre 2012

Carmen has always been in my head as a “pretty” opera: lovely tunes, colourful setting, exotically alluring gypsy brushing up against hunky bullfighter and handsome soldier - not exactly French Grand Opera, perhaps, but a far cry from gritty verismo.
