Plasson shows all his experience; Lavaudant surprises and delights with his direction; a strong cast sing their hearts out. Who can ask for more?

*****

Elena Langer's gorgeous and tongue-in-cheek Figaro Gets a Divorce shines in Geneva, despite David Pountney's boxy libretto.

****1

***11

A strong, compelling staging – coherent in aesthetic and philosophy, if a little restrained in performance.

****1

A Manon as sexy and unsteady as its heroine.
