Performer: Evez Abdulla

Scottish Opera and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland with an international cast pack a huge punch in a concert performance of Prokofiev’s The Fiery Angel.

Two world premières commissioned by the RCO are polar opposites in terms of emotional temperature.

Tom Cairns’ Glyndebourne production features svelte costumes and sets, yet – unlike Verdi’s response to Marie Duplessis’ fate – Violetta’s tale left me entirely unmoved.
