A well-sung revival of Jonathan Miller's Bohème at the coliseum fails to catch fire.

A classy and charming adventure through Gilbert & Sullivan with the OAE and John Wilson .

Jonathan Miller's production of La bohème is revived by ENO and features an important house debut. 

In Siberian conditions more akin to The Winter's Tale, a revival of Robert Carsen's season setting of Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream offered a warm glow at the Coliseum.

Netia Jones' new production taps into Britten's silvery underworld in a staging dominated by video wizardry which is hypnotically beautiful, but comes at a price.

Despite some fine singing, Benedict Andrew's production of La bohème for English National Opera is devoid of heart.
