Coming up - 12-19 July , the Grandage production of Billy Budd. I thought this was a wonderful staging, with excellent vocal performances - so impressed I went to the cinema after the live performance, and to the re-run a couple of years later (Oh, and I've got the DVD...). For me, the set is no small contributor to the success of this production.
Also, Falstaff 26 July to 2 August set in, say. 1946 I also found engaging. Not sure why, but setting it in the 20th century made the piece more accessible dramatically - directorial time shift worked for me. Again, I bought the DVD.
