A dark-hued double bill of Margot la Rouge and Le Villi at OHP
Puccini's Giselle-inspired opera is given a superb staging by Martin Lloyd-Evans to deliver Opera Holland Park's banger of the season.
Matrimonial mayhem: Le nozze di Figaro at The Grange Festival
Lloyd-Evans' new production of Mozart's classic might be traditional, but there's no lack of astuteness in his direction of his characters. Problems in the pit hinder an otherwise strong musical performance.
Britten's Dream haunts Guildhall School
Dominic Wheeler did full justice to Britten’s brilliantly colourful and haunting score right from those first eerie glissandi.
Mascagni's Isabeau at Opera Holland Park
An embarrassingly trite libretto proves unsalvageable, even with a committed cast of singers.
Disappointing Dialogues des Carmélites
The most moving scene in 20th-century opera went for nothing
Grange Festival delivers an engaging Mansfield Park by Jonathan Dove
A newly-orchestrated version of Jonathan Dove’s chamber opera drew some impressive performances from Heritage Opera in this pared-down adaption of Jane Austen’s third novel.
