Performer: Daniel Norman

Michael Grandage’s production shows no signs of age, with fine central performances from Thomas Mole, Allan Clayton and Sam Carl, and fine playing from the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

Benjamin Britten’s dark masterpiece Peter Grimes returns triumphantly to Opera North, conducted by Gary Walker and revived by Karolina Sofulak and Tim Claydon.

Rodula Gaitanou sets Richard Strauss and Hugo von Hofmannsthal's comedy in the Cinecittà film studios of the 1950s. 

A memorable performance makes a worthy memorial to the late, great Bernard Haitink, who conducted the production's premiere. 

Amid all the18th-century flummery, contemporary touches abound as the OHP's post-pandemic season opens. 

Simon McBurney's production of The Magic Flute continues to delight and this revival benefits from a strong cast, led by the superb Lucy Crowe as Pamina.
