REVIEW: The Force of Destiny: ENO

While not perfect this new ENO production is an exciting, challenging and interesting night out with quality singing and a sumptuous orchestral score, director Bieito has done bloody well to get so much out of this difficult Verdi epic.

REVIEW: The Day of the Witches: BEMF

This sponsored concert where the BEMF brings new and established musicians together to showcase their talents was a spectacular success. With music from five different groups of these talented young musicians we were taken us on a real treat of a musical journey from the last few hundred years.

REVIEW: Crownton Dobby

This is a fun romp, delightfuly silly and a well thought out parody of country house costume dramas and a particularly astute spearing of Downton Abby

This was a fun and enjoyable night out at the ENO, full of laughter and delightful performances. I’d recommend this production for a first timer as it will leave you humming and smiling all the way home.
