[…] hotel. The best advertisement for his decision is the fact that this English National Opera production has now been running since 1986, with revivals (from Elaine Tyler-Hall on this occasion) frequently occurring.

"Wozzeck is nuts but at least he's moral", said my son, "but the Doctor is evil, and gets away with it because no-one stands up to him". This opera is so tightly structured that themes interlock and intertwine, moving, as my son said, "like a giant Rubik's Cube". The production, by Keith Warner, with designs by Stefanos Lazaridis, is exceptionally close to the music and meaning Every detail connects to something in the score.
