Performer: Alexander Sprague

Elisa Verzier, making her Glyndebourne debut, is astonishing as Violetta in a revival of Tom Cairns' 2014 production. 

Olivia Fuchs gives a powerful staging of Janáček's morality tale of the perils of eternal youth, with an excellent cast, but there are reservations about the title role.

An outstanding performance from Rachel Nicholls lights up Carmen Jakobi's compelling production of Korngold's exploration of grief.
