Performer: Rob Ashford

Paul Roberts' Quadrophenia – A Mod Ballet offers very memorable performances from its leading protagonists in a compelling piece of dance theatre.

The Lyric Opera’s new production of Carmen is lusciously embodied, with expressionistic splashes of colour against a quasi-modern backdrop. 

The new Barber of Seville at the Lyric Opera, brought to life by the director Rob Ashford, set designer Scott Pask, and conductor Michele Mariotti, is not only intelligent and imaginative but also strings successions of images, gestures, and sung moments into truly satisfying large-scale forms.
