Opera Holland Park re-opens; Charities Philharmonia

It was good to see that the new canopy and foyer spaces at Holland Park Opera have retained the best of the old while bringing a new lease of life to proceedings. I especially like the new seats!

The opening production of Nabucco had its odd points but was genuinely stirring:

Jenufa is unmissable for its stars, Anne Sophie Duprels and Anne Mason:

Meanwhile, over at St John's Smith Square, we caught up with the latest concert by the Charities Philharmonia:
