Performer: Giorgi Guliashvili

Richard Eyre’s 32-year-old production is rarely out of The Royal Opera’s repertoire for more than a few months at a time, but this particular revival proves very special. 

Joyce El-Khoury saves the day in The Royal Opera’s second revival of The Sicilian Vespers in Stefan Herheim’s paint-by-numbers production. 

When in doubt, stage the action in a theatre. Australian director Justin Way gets in the way of Bellini's Norma at the Teatro di San Carlo.
