Where better to start the LPO's exploration of 'British' music in its Isle of Noises festival than with Sir Edward Elgar?

Marx in London: A madcap comedy and musically rich opera at Theater Bonn

Par Cristina Burack, 20 janvier 2019

Jonathan Dove's new opera is a comedic romp with clever lyrics set to wonderful contrasting music, though a more nuanced actor as Karl Marx could have better brought out the philosopher's amusing contradictions.

Par Dominic Lowe, 09 juin 2018

From the stately front of The Grange, an impressive moustache looms large, welcoming the audience to a production of Rossini's masterpiece that baffles, confuses and delights the audience.

Safe and simple pleasures from Scottish Opera's La traviata

Par Gregor Forbes, 19 octobre 2017

There are no answers, nor indeed many probing questions, in this Scottish Opera revival of Sir David McVicar’s production from 2008, but it is sumptuous and enjoyable.

Personenregie perfection: Martin Duncan's Il turco in Italia at Garsington

Par David Karlin, 26 juin 2017

Garsington's latest Rossini buffa is on the nail orchestrally, mixed vocally and one of the best pieces of acting and stage movement you'll see in opera.

The away leg of Rossini's “Italian girl - Turkish guy” fixture makes for a thoroughly enjoyable evening at Garsington, without ever quite bursting into flame.

Justina Gringyte is a fabulous Carmen in Scottish Opera's Revival

Par David Smythe, 17 octobre 2015

Justina Gringyte is a fabulous Carmen in Scottish Opera's dark take on this most tuneful of operas. Large choruses, including children with cigarettes, and a strong supporting cast make this an enjoyable show.

That sinking feeling: ENO’s Pirates of Penzance scuppered at the Coliseum

Par Mark Pullinger, 09 mai 2015

As director of the film Topsy-Turvy, Mike Leigh seemed like a natural choice to turn his hand to The Pirates of Penzance at English National Opera. Sadly, this proved not to be the case.

Opera's dead parrot sketch: Offenbach's Vert-Vert delights at Garsington

Par David Karlin, 09 juin 2014

Vert-Vert, undoubtedly the only opera named after a dead parrot, is a very, very silly opera – more a series of comic sketches than an integrated work. But in Garsington's production, everything delights.

Maometto Secondo triumphantly captures Garsington

Par David Karlin, 10 juin 2013

A great number of works from the bel canto era and before have not found their way into the current operatic repertoire, generally for good reason: many are flawed, dated or just not particularly distinguished. Garsington Opera have just proved to us that Rossini’s Maometto Secondo is not one of those.

Britten and Bridge with the Philharmonia in Norwich

Par Nathan Waring, 13 mai 2013

The fourteen-year-old Benjamin Britten was already a prolific young composer, albeit without any formal training, when he heard Frank Bridge’s The Sea at the 1927 Norfolk and Norwich Triennial Festival. Hearing this performance and also meeting Bridge (who later became his composition teacher) were seminal events in the youngster’s life.

Garsington Opera's La Périchole bubbles and delights

Par David Karlin, 18 juin 2012

The West End/Broadway musical is alive and well, raking in millions with its blend of light music, song and dance routines and not-too-taxing drama. But its spiritual ancestor, the operetta, is an unfashionable beast.
