Some good singing performances can't overcome a dated feeling of Gilbert's humour: the evening improves as the storm clouds gather.

HMS Pinafore at OHP: infernal nonsense of the best kind

Peter Kirk (Ralph Rackstraw) and the Opera Holland Park Chorus © Ali Wright
It’s a risky business to describe comic nuance or timing, so please take my word that these qualities were as pitch-perfect as the vocal prowess on display.

A musical joy and a comical hoot: The Pirates of Penzance at OHP

John Savournin directs Opera Holland Park's end-of-term G&S romp.

An unlikely pair: Argento and Copland in a Grimeborn double bill

Grimeborne's lopsided production of Miss Haversham's Wedding Night and 12 Poems of Emily Dickinson is both trick and treat.

Jungle drums beating true

John Savournin takes Mozart's Magic Flute on an exotic adventure into the Peruvian rainforest: and retrieves more than a sprinkling of Inca gold.
