Performer: Royal Academy Sinfonia

Students triumph in Tchaikovsky's Iolanta and Ravel's L'Enfant et les sortilèges.

Brecht and Weill's tirade against Big Money is exceptionally well acted throughout; vocal and musical performances are more mixed.

In Shoreditch, the Royal Academy of Music showed off some superb singing in a chilling exploration of tyranny and unrestrained power.
