English National Opera brings back Simon McBurney's theatre of wonders for this Mozart classic. 

John Adams’ opera about Richard Nixon’s historic meeting with Mao Tse-Tung is performed with all round excellence, with a real find on the podium in the shape of Olivia Lee-Gunderman.

ENO's Merry Widow is big, brash, and more than a touch juvenile – but it's the most fun one can have at the opera.
