Performer: Francesco Cilluffo

Frederick Delius' gigantic score is worth a listen but Christopher Luscombe doesn’t circumvent the problems of directing this opera in 2025. 

Excellent singing, an amusing production and lively staging showcases Mascagni's Le maschere in the best possible light at Wexford Festival Opera. 

Joining OHP's 2019 production of Wolf-Ferrari's charming domestic comedy, a blazing new production of Pagliacci delivers everything that one could want from Leoncavallo's infamous opera. 

Artistic Director Rosetta Cucchi makes a compelling case for Marco Tutino's impassioned opera on the horrors of war from a woman's perspective. 

Wexford Festival thrives on resurrecting long-forgotten operas, so is the perfect place for Halévy's take on Shakespeare, neglected for 170 years.

Puccini's Giselle-inspired opera is given a superb staging by Martin Lloyd-Evans to deliver Opera Holland Park's banger of the season.
