Performer: Ruth Jenkins-Róbertsson

A solid Magic Flute from the performers but marred by the director's foibles. 

Fine soprano performances from Ruth Jenkins-Róbertsson and Victoria Simmonds can't save Ambroise Thomas's inanimate object of a plot. Thank goodness Wagner saved us from more of the same. 

Positioned at the heart of St Paul’s Cathedral, Rutter took to the stage to perform a sold out concert dedicated to his life as a composer. 

A child's world comes magically to life in Ravel's one-act lyric fantasy L'Enfant et les sortilèges in a beautiful production by the young singers of Samling Academy.

Rapturously romantic, intimate, moving, unforgettable: more English summer opera should be like Iford. And the garden is like Narnia in the spring. 

Scottish Opera's Don Pasquale is a well sung and fun-filled delight to lift the winter spirits.
