💃Last night, The Merry Widow opened at the Theatre Royal Glasgow marking the start of its Scottish Opera run. We can't wait for Lehár’s sparkling comedy will arrive at Opera Holland Park this summer.

Scottish Opera’s Merry Widow tangles with the New York Mafia

Here's a snap from the current production of Gilbert and Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance at English National Opera. The Pirate King (John Savournin) and Ruth (Gaynor Keeble) are discussing a paradox with Frederick (William Morgan)

The very model of a classic comic opera, Mike Leigh's refreshingly reverent and fabulously funny production of 'The Pirates of Penzance' makes a welcome return.
