WNO delivers a well-performed production of Mozart’s Magic Flute with some fresh ideas, but other which dilute it. 

A delicious bite-sized chunk of romantic opera: The Telephone

Attractive music and delicious comedy abound in Scottish Opera's short film of Gian Carlo Menotti's 1947 comic opera, made for Edinburgh International Festival.

Shame, camera, action: Verdi's La traviata at Longborough

Daisy Evans' take on Verdi's iconic tale of love stymied by the cruelty of others is characteristically innovative and insightful, while also blessed with a remarkable central performance from Anna Patalong. 

Something old, something new: Donizetti's Pia de' Tolomei

Donizetti's back catalogue proves just as rich as his well-loved works, with this blisteringly good foray into an extraordinary opera whose UK premiere is 179 undeserved years late.
