Stunning setting, hard-hitting acting, musical strength: La traviata at Nevill Holt

Despite the excellent playing of the Britten Sinfonia, Anna Morrissey’s flawed production disappoints. 

Nevill Holt Opera and Royal Northern Sinfonia offer a sumptuous production, with gorgeous singing, but one unafraid to make us confront the uncomfortable aspects of the plot.

Never has Brecht and Weill’s satire on the inhumanity of man to man been render with such utter darkness; Simon O’Neill heads up a superb cast.

Simple solutions prove the best in Beethoven's "problem" opera as John Cox's staging is revived at Garsington.

A lyrical yet zesty account of Mozart's' adorable score, in a production that is on the nose and off the wall.
