Annilese Miskimmon’s new production for English National Opera promises a “reimagining” but is a problematic disappointment. 

Scottish Ballet’s revival of Crystal Pite’s Emergence and Julia Cheng’s new Entress are a winning combination.

An arresting two-handed love story. 

 This was opera which found expression using modern technology in a way that did not offend, intimidate or distract the audience, but rather enhanced the experience.

The director Edward Dick and his designer, Tom Scutt, alternate between realistic and expressionistic images in their creation of grim spectacle.

Si la direction musicale de Paolo Carignani, l'orchestre et les chœurs impressionnent, l'ensemble de la production est plombé par une mise en scène caricaturale, tandis que la distribution laisse une impression mitigée.
