Review: GUILIO CESARE, The Grange Festival


by Aliya Al-Hassan - June 08, 2026

A new version of Handel's 1724 opera Giulio Cesare is always an exciting prospect. The love story between Julius Caesar and Cleopatra, with the backdrop of war with Egypt, political ambition and domestic unrest is ripe for reinterpretation.

Review: THE TEMPEST, Starring Kenneth Branagh


by Cindy Marcolina - May 31, 2026

Kenneth Branagh has returned to Stratford-upon-Avon to tread the boards of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, where we last saw him 33 years ago as the Prince of Denmark directed by Adrian Noble.

Review: FISH IN A KETTLE, Fabric Studios


by Sarah O'Hara - May 29, 2026

Review: IL TURCO IN ITALIA, Glyndebourne


by Aliya Al-Hassan - May 26, 2026

Il Turco In Italia may not be Rossini's most famous work, but if there is any justice, this wonderful revival of Mariame Clément's 2021 Festival production will bring this opera to much wider attention. An uproarious comedy accompanied by a rousingly galloping score and gorgeous vocals; it is the e...

Review: TOSCA, Glyndebourne


by Aliya Al-Hassan - May 22, 2026

Tosca is Giacomo Puccini's fast-paced thriller of an opera; brimming with tension and political intrigue. For many it is Puccini's best work, yet incredibly it has never been staged at Glyndebourne. Until now. It is a show of firsts all round: the first mainstage production for director Ted Huffman...
