Performer: Justine Viani

Excellent vocal acting and total commitment to the text make for a riveting piece of operatic storytelling, driven by James Schouten's powerful Loge.

A disappointingly po-faced and directorally hidebound production almost takes the shine off a superb Daphne starring Justine Viani, with an exciting Peneios from Welsh bass James Gower. 

Tête-à-Tête's installation of four works is something of a curate's egg, but worth it for James Schouten's exhilarating Rock Tosca and Workshopera's visionary Boys of Paradise.
