A story that deserves to be told: Isango Ensemble's SS Mendi: Dancing the Death Drill

Neil Armfield's production for State Opera South Australia combines a sparkling night of entertainment with first class musical values. 

Excellent performances cannot turn a conventional production of Massenet’s Werther into a dramatic experience for the 21st century. 

Allan Clayton and Sir Bryn Terfel lead a strong cast in a revival of Deborah Warner's dark staging of Britten's signature work at Covent Garden. 

Markus Bothe’s Botticelli-inspired production fuses tableau vivant aesthetics with Jörg Halubek’s surgical musical precision, offering a peerless, vivid tribute to the fragrant dawn of opera.

Very few singers can hold an audience in the palm of their hand the way Brenda Rae as Marie does in this rollicking frolic.
