TURN OF THE SCREW, 2019
Plays To See ★★★★★ Director Ella Marchment has found a way to frame the action and to gradually tighten the terror that does full justice to the way Britten’s score takes us on that journey. This is a superb opera and, while at one level it is a very effective ghost story, it is also…

LUCIO SILLA, 2017
The Stage ★★★★ Harry Silverstein’s modern-dress production gives credibility to the characters and their situations, however high-flown, while the general standard of singing in an opera that demands virtuosity from all its principals is never less than honourable and regularly more. – The Stage Photos (c) Buxton International Festival
IL LETTO, 2017
It is where we give birth, It is where we would like to die. It where we make love, It is where we lie next, (to each other). Each day we make it, Leave and come back again. The infinite variation in repetition. We pray at its feet when we feel our pain. Il Letto,…
