Finn Ross is thorougly enjoying his move into designing for opera. This started last autumn with Janacek's The Adventures of Mr Broucek, a co-production between Opera North and Scottish Opera, continued with The Knight Crew, a new opera for young people for Glyndebourne, and carries on with A Dog's Heart, an opera based on a Bulgakov novel, for Dutch Opera. The latter will be directed by Simon McBurney and is already scheduled to transfer to the ENO in late November. What with all this and Das Portrait for the Bregenz Festival this summer straight theatre had better step aside... this boy loves opera!

"With Finn Ross's video projections blending news footage with milky Melies fantasy... this gentle satire is a delight." (The Adventures of Mr Broucek) Anna Picard, The Independent on Sunday 18.10.2009
