La Bohème – review

A young cast adds credibility to David McVicar's 11-year-old staging, which returns in fine fettle for Glyndebourne on Tour, writes George Hall

Don Pasquale – review

This is a sensationally sung and tremendously slick production, though there's no justification for Mariame Clément's violation of the opera's plot, writes Tim Ashley

Prom 55: Rinaldo – review

The semi-staging of the Handel opera, ported over from Glyndebourne, is tacky; thank heavens for the music, says Erica Jeal

This Glyndebourne on Tour production of Don Giovanni could do with a bit more light, both emotionally and on stage. But it's strong stuff, finely delivered by an often first-rate cast, writes Tim Ashley

Hansel and Gretel

GlyndebourneLaurent Pelly's Brecht-tinged reworking of the fable stuck two fingers up at the affluent audience, says Tim Ashley

Dvorák: Rusalka

This live recording from Glyndebourne last year is not overwhelming in the way that most who saw it in the theatre considered it to be, writes Tim Ashley

Don Giovanni

Glyndebourne Opera HouseA lack of dramatic spark turns this production of Don Giovanni into an evening of bland neutrality, writes Andrew Clements

Macbeth

Glyndebourne, SussexThe brilliance of this staging of Verdi's innovative opera is to summon humdrum images then transmute them into something shocking, writes George Hall

Cosí Fan Tutte

Glyndebourne Sally Matthews's earnest Fiordiligi and Barbara Senator's happy-go-lucky Dorabella meet all vocal challenges head on, writes George Hall

Billy Budd

GlyndebourneStrange choices can't sink Britten's claustrophic masterpiece, writes Andrew Clements

Knight Crew

The latest offering from Glyndebourne's community opera programme, Knight Crew brings Arthurian legend to a contemporary canalside gangland, writes Guy Dammann

Deborah Warner puts the mundane into the Messiah to mystifying effect, and Glyndebourne at the pictures is no picnic, writes Fiona Maddocks

Così Fan Tutte

Glyndebourne: A revival of Nicholas Hytner's production saw a pair of remarkable performances in the roles of Alfonso and Despina, writes Tim Ashley

Tristan und Isolde

GlyndebourneAnja Kampe's luminous prescence just about carries the show in this uneven performance, writes Andrew Clements

GlyndebourneWonderful observations of gossipy village life and erotic chaos make this Donizetti revival a triumph, writes Tim Ashley
