La Boheme at the Grand, Leeds

By Hilary Finch [Times Online, 19 January 2010]
If you really do wish that it was Christmas every day, then tag along with Opera North’s winter tour, and you’ll get lashings of snow and Father Christmas right up to March. The gentlemen with the long snowy beards prance around the CafÈ Momus, adding to the scarlet, white and black of Phyllida Lloyd’s still handsome 17-year-old production, now revived, somewhat patchily, by Peter Relton.
