Covent Garden

A building that deserves to be admired as an example of intelligent and sophisticated urban planning

For hardcore old opera buffers, there are still a few places of refuge

Until about yesterday, “opera” meant “Romantic opera”

Why music festivals have lost their purpose

A fun but difficult production of Il Trovatore

Rusalka, Royal Opera House

Having the hots for Tosca

A gloomy production of a glittering opera

With productions this bad, it is no surprise that nobody cares about opera

Covent Garden’s first post-lockdown offering is in a long, grim tradition
