Luke Styles' interludes to the Canticles may not set the musical world alight in Awakening Shadow, but they provide the perfect excuse to perform Britten's remarkable works.

Par David Smythe, 16 novembre 2020

Virtual Opera made real as Ravel's miniature masterpiece is recorded remotely around the world and melded with Leanne Vandenbussche’s picture-book drawings and the London Philharmonic Orchestra's soundtrack to create magic.

Two great Royal Opera debuts aren't enough to lift a Katya Kabanova lacking in drama

Par David Karlin, 04 février 2019

Amanda Majeski is magnificent in the title role; Ed Gardner shows total master of Janáček's music. But that's not enough to rescue a poorly thought out Richard Jones production.

Hasse's Artaserse receives its Australian première

Par Sandra Bowdler, 29 novembre 2018

Perhaps Pinchgut Opera's finest production to date, a brave presentation of a classic Baroque opera, little heard in Australia apart from Handel, benefits from the star presence of Vivca Genaux in splendid form.

Broken wings: Ermonela Jaho a devastating Madama Butterfly at Covent Garden

Par Mark Pullinger, 27 mars 2017

Ermonela Jaho sure likes to put herself (and us) through the emotional wringer on Covent Garden's stage. This time, London finally got to see her as another tragic Puccini heroine: Madama Butterfly.

Par Graham Watts, 28 janvier 2017

An incredible musical performance - by pianists and singers - that is not well enough matched by the visual experience of cluttered creativity in which excellent dancers are often anonymous

Jonathan Kent's Manon Lescaut at Covent Garden: hard hitting staging, musically mixed

Par David Karlin, 22 novembre 2016

Kent's staging brings out the sleaze in Puccini's first big hit; Sondra Radvanovsky thrills in the title role; the musical performance improves through the evening.

The cradle of French Grand Opera: Rossi's Orpheus at the Sam Wanamaker

Par David Karlin, 23 octobre 2015

A somewhat overly manic production of Luigi Rossi's version of the Orpheus tale, originally written for the French court in 1647, is lit up by some great singing and a show-stealing comic performance by Graeme Broadbent.
