Jordan Town, Linbury Studio, Royal Opera House, London, **

The Independent Quote:
Full marks to the Royal Opera House's will to initiate accessible events beyond the main stage; but nul points for sabotaging these good intentions. True, some flops may be down to the bad luck that is an in-built programming peril; others, though, have to be attributed to lax artistic control. You might also argue that one spectator's flop is another's unqualified hit, but the people round me at the Errollyn Wallen Company's Jordan Town were as unimpressed as I was.
