The Dictator
"Christopher Hillier was outstanding as The Dictator. Both his voice and characterisation of a ruthless smooth-talking egoist were strongly projected and convincing".

Dido and Aeneas / The Emperor of Atlantis
Two short operatic chamber works written more than two centuries apart with contrasting musical languages couldn’t better have been brought together in a new double bill.
