[…] Singh Degun on the music for story of the Indian doctors in the NHS. But the opera is not just a selection of engaging narratives. The desire to broaden our horizons is a natural one, but for many, it is a necessity to improve on circumstances, and the stories explore how the result of such migrations often have unintended consequences. Migrations is an ambitious, large-scale piece involving over 100 performers including Tom Randle, Meeta Raval, David Shipley and Peter Brathwaite amongst other artists, along with the Bristol-based Renewal Choir Community Chorus, a Bollywood Ensemble and a children’s chorus including members of WNO’s Youth Opera, joining the forces of Welsh National Opera’s Orchestra and Chorus. The opera is also part of a five-year partnership with the Welsh Refugee Council working with groups in the community through composition, music and performance projects.

Catherine (Kitty) Clive, the first Dalilaby Willem Verelst 1740 Handel Samson; Stuart Jackson, Paula Murrihy, Sophie Bevan, Matthew Brook, David Shipley, The English Concert, Harry Bicket; London Handel Festival at St George's Hanover Square Reviewed by Robert Hugill on 13 October 2021 Star rating: 5.0 (★★★★★) Stuart Jackson as a moving and finely sung Samson in this rare outing for Handel's expansive 1743 version of his oratorioHandel's dramatic talents as a composer ran to the expansive, in a way that Handel the promoter found tricky so that many of his works were trimmed and edited for later performances. His oratorio Samson is a case in point, after the first performance on 18 February 1743, cuts were being made and in each revival of the work, there were changes. The London Handel Festival gave us a rare chance to hear the complete 1743 version of Handel's Samson on Thursday […]
