As Opera Holland Park bows out for another year, it already has next summer's musical nights in its sights.
The wraps are off Opera Holland Park 2018, and the news is good for music-lovers. Verdi's La Traviata, the story of a love overwhelmed by duty, contrasts with the light-hearted romantic swopsies of Mozart's Così Fan Tutte. Richard Strauss's full-bodied show-within-a-show Ariadne auf Naxos is the third of the season's four new productions, which also include a little-known Italian opera, Isabeau, based on the Lady Godiva story.
