Performer: Antoin Herrera-López Kessel

Longborough Festival Opera, built on Wagnerian foundations, stages the UK premiere of Avner Dorman’s ambitious cautionary tale about the Wagner clan and establishing the composer’s legacy. 

A concert staging of Saint François d’Assise at the Enescu Festival brings its human drama to life through striking visuals, pacy conducting and expertly drilled performances.

Four down, three to go: Le Balcon’s accomplished staging of Stockhausen's Licht cycle reaches its most problematic instalment.
