Plus, how Opera North’s casting of two South Korean singers in its new production of La traviata is paving the way for budding talent to bloom on the international stage; a survey of Sir Peter Maxwell Davies’ stage works to mark his 80th birthday; the enduring appeal of Gilbert & Suillivan’s comic operas; opera highlights in Sweden; the opera bluff guide to Mozart’s Idomeneo and your chance to win tickets to a live cinema screening of the Royal Opera’s L’elisir d’amore.
