From the Somme's trenches: Iain Bell's In Parenthesis opens at Welsh National Opera

WNO imports Edward Dick’s exceptionally fine production, which benefits from from superb casting and outstanding performances led by Natalya Romaniw. 

Fine performances in a punchy new production that coats this tragic opera in a large dollop of debauchery. 

Leading an international cast in a still-sumptuous revival in Southampton's Mayflower, Stacey Alleaume gives a sovereign performance as the ill-fated courtesan Violetta.
