But this girl hardly needed to, so deafening is the chorus of approval in which she basks. She's the ultimate classical poster-girl, deployed to lethal effect by Glyndebourne, first in 2005 as the sexiest Cleopatra in living memory in Giulio Cesare, and now as a raunchy 21st-century ...

Street Scene, Young Vic, London
Kurt Weill called Street Scene "a Broadway opera", but there aren't too many operas with a wild jitterbug that segues into a slutty blues or a children's chorus who chant, "My father's name is Rockefeller./He shovels diamonds in the cellar."

‘MAMMA MIA!’ Gotta love it, like it or not
The brassy, bawdy musical "Mamma Mia!" presents itself as a piece of clever counterprogramming to this summer's surfeit of pounding, effects-driven comic-book movies. What could provide a better antidote to a "Dark Knight" than the cinematic equivalent of the world's sunniest day?
