opera reviews archive: 2003

Theodora
Peter Sellars' celebrated production of Christian persecution updated to modern America is revived as Glyndebourne Touring Opera continues its run in Plymouth.
La Traviata
Glyndebourne Touring Opera in Plymouth with an opulent production of Verdi's fabulous weepy. Majella Curragh is the tart with the heart (and voice) of gold.
The Black Monk
They're like buses - no World Premieres for ages and then two come along at once. This one's by newcomer Anthony Bailey.
Ignis Et Fides
It rained on the night, but that didn't pour cold water on the premiere of a major new opera production.
Cathy Marston Triple Bill
No, it's not opera. But there's some very interesting music including a Yann Tiersen score... and the dancing is fabulous.
Winterreise
Simon Keenlyside and Trisha Brown produce a haunting version of Schubert's melancholy song-cycle at the Barbican.
War and Peace
English National Opera in a triumphant semi-staged performance at the BBC Proms.
Don Giovanni
Welsh National Opera on tour at the Theatre Royal, Plymouth.
Turandot
Puccini's last opera closes the season at Lithuanian National Opera, Vilnius.
The Trojans at Carthage
Gorgeous Berlioz version of the Dido & Aeneas story at The Coliseum, London.
Hamlet
Ambroise Thomas takes liberties with the Bard at the Royal Opera House, London.
Alcina
Handel's tale of magic and reason returns with a fabulous cast at The Coliseum, London.
The Handmaid's Tale
Margaret Atwood's disturbing novel turns into an opera @ The Coliseum, London.
Der Rosenkavalier
Bitter-sweet romance and the lushest music @ The Coliseum, London.
The Cunning Little Vixen
The cycle of nature comes to life @ The Royal Opera House, London.
Rigoletto
Jonathan Miller's groundbreaking production still sparkles @ The Coliseum, London.
The Capture of Troy
Or should that be the Sack of Troy? Relocation fails to impress @ The Coliseum, London.
Khovanshchina
An all star cast thrills @ The Coliseum, London.
