Wales Millennium Centre, CardiffAndrei Kymach as the dashing don leads an impressive cast in Welsh National Opera’s atmospheric but uneven revival of John Caird’s production Downright deceit, charm, wronged women determined to avenge, a raging storm … Mozart’s opera about the pathological liar and libertine could hardly seem more contemporary. When Welsh National Opera’s 2011 production was revived in 2018 – circa #MeToo – it appeared timely, but, with this latest revival, perhaps the reality is that it will always be so. Designer John Napier’s set, inspired by Auguste Rodin’s The Gates of Hell, creates the suitably tenebrous background to original director John Caird’s concept, underlining what is already the spoiler-alert of the title, Don Giovanni or The Dissolute Punished.

Queen Elizabeth Hall, LondonA remarkable showing from the newly crowned Singer of the World and erotically charged scenes in this Rubinstein rarity Anton Rubinstein is perhaps most frequently remembered as the inspirational teacher who, in 1862, founded St Petersburg Conservatory, where Tchaikovsky was among his pupils. He was also, however, a prolific composer in his own right, and his 1875 opera The Demon, superbly performed in concert by the Chelsea Opera Group, was among the most popular Russian works in the late 19th century, though it has become something of a rarity since. Rubinstein’s source was Lermontov’s poem of the same name, about a Demon, portrayed as a doomed Byronic outsider, seeking spiritual redemption through the love of Tamara, a mortal woman.
