As usual, there's so much going on in London next month that the sooner someone invents a Sky+ for live events the better.

Casting light on Korngold and Maconchy

Max Ernst - Forest and Dove

November's Opera magazine is worth buying (or at least surreptitiously leafing thru in the ROH shop.....) for a couple of reasons. 

Jessica Duchen supplies a comprehensive Korngold feature, majoring on Das Wunder der Heliane -- I would say essential reading if you're planning on taking in the LPO's UK premiere on November 21.

And with Sadler's Wells about to put on a couple of rarely-staged operas by Elizabeth Maconchy, there's some timely and expert background from her daughter, Nicola LeFanu.
