Atys, an opera fit for a king

Bruno Ravella's splendid 2021 production of Strauss' opera of Viennese manners returns with a fine cast. 

Mount Vesuvius looms over Cecilia Stinton’s compelling new production of Così fan tutte.

Music Director Douglas Boyd conducts a performance of exceptional musical quality, and Louisa Muller's uncontroversial but passionate direction makes this Traviata one for the ages.

Tom Creed’s witty production at Lismore Castle delivers strong singing, sharp comedy and lively orchestral playing, even if the opera’s darker supernatural edges are somewhat diminished.

A thoughtful production from Martin Lloyd-Evans and magnificent playing from Matthew Kofi Walden and the City of London Sinfonia make the case for why Puccini's under-appreciated work is actually so sophisticated.
