Artiste: Norwegian National Opera

A dramatic staging of two Greek myths, Wayne McGregor’s Jocasta’s Line is an epic production for Norwegian National Opera and Ballet, a truly modern and totally original work.

Chrisoph Loy's new Oslo production of Eugene Onegin only somewhat succeeds in its desire to create a meditation on loneliness, but superb musical performances still make it an utterly compelling piece of music theatre.

Despite some dramatic frustrations, at least in Oslo, Jones' production is saved by some truly outstanding singing.

With many new full-length dance works to look out for in the new season, we preview several anticipated new creations from leading choreographers – including a number with newly commissioned scores.
