Jeanette Sorrell brings a Messiah to Manchester that adds a sense of drama, bridging the gap between oratorio and opera.

With a cast of six and orchestra of seven, Waterperry Opera treats us to a new chamber opera, and one with music by Mozart.

The Royal College of Music's first opera of the season, The Cunning Little Vixen has some excellent singing and first-class playing from the student orchestra.
