King Leontes' jealous rage results in the death of his loyal wife Hermione days after she has given birth. Leontes orders for the baby to be killed, but many years later, truth surfaces as a crocus at the first sign of thaw. Ryan Wigglesworth's first opera is a luminous, persuasive retelling of William Shakespeare's The Winters Tale. His natural sense for dramatic narrative brings clarity to this tragedy-turned-romance, its brooding opening act unfolding gradually into a light-hearted scherzo. Written as the culmination of Wigglesworths tenure as Artist in Residence with English National Opera, The Winter's Tale is not to be missed.

A cycle of songs that each offer a “window” into a different wintry scene. There is, of course, a snow-man, and there are snowflakes and fields piled high in snow drifts, but the piece also reflects the darkness of winter in the loneliness of a bird calling out in the wintry darkness, a gentle lullaby lovingly watching over a babe in the dark of a winter night, and the welcome warmth of a fireside after a day of work out in the winter woods.

Each year the BBC Music Magazine commissions a brand-new Christmas Carol for their readers and, when Grace-Evangeline Mason was invited to compose the 2021 carol, she decided to write and set her own poem titled A Winter Carol. The words, which depict snowy scenery and starry allusions to heaven and earth, also include a modern twist as the composer dreams of walking home at Christmas time under the warm glow of the street lamps all covered in a silver frost. Written in three verses with a short refrain in between repeating the word “winter,†the piece is a small, celebratory reflection of Christmas time. The carol begins in quiet consideration before opening up to feel hearty and warm. After a playful midsection, the work returns to a softer final coda, which is reminiscentof the opening.
