Tim Albery's Tannhäuser gets a second revival at the ROH

Mark Valencia, 29th January

Albery's production allows the opera to speak for itself, although sluggish pacing in the pit detract from the musical merits of this revival.

Downhill from Venusberg: a bland Tannhäuser

Jasmin Vardimon's Freedom at Sadler's Wells

Erin Johnson, 12th November

In what way would you set the stage for an exploration of freedom? Jasmin Vardimon’s vision adorns the Sadler’s Wells stage with large, spinning set pieces dripping with duct tube and green vines of industrial plastic. A camouflaged blanket made of rustling synthetic leaves makes sporadic entrances and exits to the scene.
