Sensitive stagecraft, directorial rage: Suor Angelica... for one night only at ENO

Par Mark Valencia, 27 septembre 2024

Miskimmon's relocation of the action to Ireland is unsparing in its evocation not of some tearjerking melodrama but of an almost documentary reportage on real events.

The Rake's Progress at The Grange Festival: richly entertaining, but is there soul?

Par David Karlin, 23 juin 2024

Singing performances are excellent, the staging is well crafted and Stravinsky's eclectic score entertains from start to finish. But it's an evening's opera that doesn't touch the soul.

On a knife-edge: Calixto Bieito's Carmen returns to English National Opera

Par Dominic Lowe, 1 février 2023

Bieito’s vivid production of Bizet's most famous work is a classic; his attack on toxic masculinity is visceral, made more potent by an excellent leading pair of singers.

The second Elizabethan age receives a noble tribute from the first in ENO's Gloriana

Par Roy Westbrook, 8 décembre 2022

When done as well as this, a "concert staging" is not oxymoronic, but a precise term for a valuable mode of presentation.

It has been Salieri’s tragedy to have largely been overlooked by history, but The Chimney Sweep shows his mastery of musical stagecraft. It was given a spirited and musically satisfying performance by Pinchgut Opera.

Pinchgut Opera’s cheeky take on Cavalli’s Giasone a winner in Sydney

Par David Larkin, 5 décembre 2013

Giasone was the most performed opera of the 17th century, but this was no dry, reverent exhumation. This was something much better from Pinchgut Opera: a joyous, animated resurrection.
