Review: ORFEO ED EURIDICE at Four Seasons Centre For The Performing Arts
by Keira Grant - Oct 13, 2025
The extreme minimalism did not land for me or my guest, but it was clear that other members of the audience loved it. It all comes down to how much you love contemporary baroque singing and agree with a 'less is more' approach to mounting opera.

Review: SAUL, Glyndebourne Festival
by Aliya Al-Hassan - Jun 9, 2025
Just how much fun can you have at an oratorio about a Old Testament tale of jealousy, madness and death? Well, quite a lot as it happens at the return of Barry Kosky's remarkable production of Handel's Saul. This staging is opera at its most theatrical, with severed heads, a breast-feeding witch, a gay subplot and more twerking than a Beyoncé concert.

Review: BBC PROMS: PROM 68 – BRITTEN'S A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, Royal Albert Hall
by Debbie Gilpin - Sep 11, 2024
“What angel wakes me from my flowery bed?” More often than not, when Shakespeare is adapted into different formats, the text is largely lost but the story remains - not so in this case. Benjamin Britten and his partner Peter Pears opted to go without a librettist, instead taking Shakespeare’s words and shuffling parts of the play about a bit. It certainly makes sense that work from such a lyrical playwright could be directly transformed into song, and by and large it feels like quite a natural transition.
