Performer: Isabella Bywater

Isabella Bywater directs an evocative new production of Britten’s ghost opera, well performed at the Coliseum. 

Sir Jonathan Miller’s production of Puccini’s classic remains powerful, but ENO’s latest revival underwhelms at the Coliseum. 

House debutants, soprano Nicole Chevalier and conductor Lidiya Yankovskaya, excel in Isabella Bywater's Górecki staging to close English National Opera's season.

A well-sung revival of Jonathan Miller's Bohème at the coliseum fails to catch fire.

Lindy Hume's new production works reasonably well in allowing the story to be told with sufficient emotional weight.

Tomer Zvulun's mostly traditional account of the Tchaikovsky masterpiece arrives at Seattle Opera in an attractively staged but underwhelming package.

This season, Henryk Górecki’s Third Symphony hits London’s stages twice: Crystal Pite expands Flight Pattern for a new work at The Royal Ballet, while Isabella Bywater presents it at English National Opera.
