Sir David McVicar's unassuming production fails to engage with the political side of Verdi's masterpiece, despite good conducting by Nicola Luisotti and some good singing by a solid cast. 

A largely newly cast revival of The Rake's Progress takes a while to catch fire, but when it does the results are devilishly good.
