Director Milos Rau, composer Hèctor Parra and librettist Fiston Mwanza Mujila put the operatic spotlight on the fight for justice after a mining disaster in the DRC, with mixed results.

Yuval Sharon’s production of La bohème turns the opera upside down... with captivating consequences.

Weill and Brecht's excoriating satire is brilliantly executed; after such an intense opener, Mahagonny-Songspiel is less convincing.

David Lefkowich takes Pagliacci into the big top for a contemporary treatment at the the Steriti Rink.

It’s a small miracle that the production has been recreated so well in such a short time frame.

WNO make a compelling case for Prokofiev's gargantuan War and Peace.
