Performer: Thomas C Hase

In this revival of Stephen Lawless' busy production, set in 1945 Italy, young American tenor Jonah Hoskins' endearing performance tilts Donizetti's charmer in a Nemorino-centric direction. 

Sex, fame, luxury and envy meet in an irresistible cocktail as the Reisopera stages the Dutch premiere of Thomas Adès’ chamber opera. 

Stephen Lawless' production of Donizetti’s whimsical comedy begins well and improves as it goes, with sparkling performances from an international cast.

Alcina also disappoints as a showcase for sustainable opera, despite that being Opera North’s pledge for this production. 

The brainchild of opera director Monique Wagemakers, choreographer Nanine Linning and visual artist Lonneke Gordijn, this Orfeo by Nederlandse Reisopera is a thing of infinite beauty.

In 1724, Handel's Giulio Cesare was a vehicle for star singers Senesino and Francesca Cuzzoni. Maria Sanner and Lucie Chartin step into their shoes with great success for this Opera North revival.
