Semele at Dutch National Opera: myth, desire and fantasy
Guth’s Semele turns myth into a contemporary domestic drama, where desire becomes obsession and illusion consumes reality. Handel’s music remains the true engine, driven by a thrilling, physically intense ensemble.
Love's loss lamented: Boesch and Martineau in Edinburgh
A traditional Lieder programme at the Edinburgh International Festival brings songs concerned with love, celebrating its joys but more often lamenting its loss and its pains.
Winging its way to heaven: Schumann's muse soars aloft at the Proms
A Schumann premiere at the BBC Proms, revived with loving care by Sir Simon Rattle and the LSO.

Contemplation and reflection should ideally form a counterpoint to jollity and merry-making in the festive season: an object-lesson from Sir Simon Rattle and his supporting forces.
