Saul - Handel - Barry Kosky at Glyndebourne

2 weeks ago | london-unattached.com | Fiona Maclean

Last Updated on June 9, 2025 5.0 out of 5.0 starsIt’s been ten years since Barry Kosky’s Saul first lit up the stage at Glyndebourne, and it’s still a production people talk about—for good reason. Bursting with colour, energy, and imagination, this take on Handel’s oratorio is anything but sleepy. Think less polite concert hall or church, more vivid, surreal dreamscape.

Last Updated on June 5, 2025 We first came across the Mayfair restaurant Silva when it launched in November 2024. We picked the Mediterranean restaurant for our new opening of the month and thoroughly enjoyed the experience there. So, the opportunity to go back for a wine tasting and dinner to celebrate the wines of Sicily was both appropriate and one not to miss. Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean, is a land of rich history and dramatic landscapes.

Last Updated on May 25, 2025 4.0 out of 5.0 starsBetter known for staging the works of Shakespeare, last night the Globe Theatre transported us to colonial Massachusetts for Arthur Miller’s The Crucible. Set during the Salem witch trials of 1692, during the Salem witch trials of 1692, Miller’s allegorical play is a thinly veiled critique of McCarthy-era America, a period of anti-communist hysteria, with a chilling blend of political fear, cultural censorship, and systemic injustice.

The other day, at the new and very hip One Club Row, I enjoyed a delicious dish of asparagus with labneh and hazelnuts. I believe I waxed lyrical for a good 10 minutes or so about how I want to try making it at home. And, Air Fryer Asparagus is one of my favourite spring treats. So, why not?

1 month ago | london-unattached.com | Fiona Maclean

Last Updated on May 3, 2025 4.2 out of 5.0 starsIn 1725, Georg Philipp Telemann premiered Pimpinone in Hamburg, delivering a sharp, comedic intermezzo that captured the changing tastes of 18th-century opera audiences. Pimpinone pokes fun at social norms and gender dynamics of the time. The story follows a clever maid who manipulates her way into marriage with her bumbling employer, only to take control of the household.
Ultimate Beef Wellington Experience, Peninsula Hotel, Review

2 months ago | london-unattached.com | Fiona Maclean

Last Updated on April 29, 2025 4.8 out of 5.0 starsCraving a taste of classic British fare? Timeless favourites such as the Sunday Roast, fish and chips, jellied eels, and scones with jam and clotted cream all make a strong case. But when it comes to show-stopping drama on the plate, few dishes rival the Beef Wellington. Perhaps that’s why this culinary centrepiece holds pride of place on the menus of some of London’s most prestigious hotels.
