Lloyd-Evans' new production of Mozart's classic might be traditional, but there's no lack of astuteness in his direction of his characters. Problems in the pit hinder an otherwise strong musical performance.
Community Chorus is star of the show in Glyndebourne's Agreed
Impressive performances from a 75-strong community chorus in a watery tale of love, loss and divided lands at Glyndebourne.

Herheim places the composer at the centre of his opera in a staging that's clever and erudite but somewhat cold; musical performances are mixed.
The Skating Rink: Shivers up and down the spine
Tough, thrilling, ambitious and new: The Skating Rink is an exciting new major commission by Garsington, and its world première delivered on every level.

A restless score, a stylish modern setting and gripping central performances from David Butt Philip (trading Laertes at the festival for the title role here) and Jennifer France (Ophelia) do much to commend this new work
Verismo with a capital V: Zazà at Opera Holland Park
