Mirandolina |
|
| Garsington Opera | | | Mirandolina makes for a light (very light) Summer evening of appropriate length |
| Well performed and gloriously produced |
| It’s not deep stuff, but it’s delicious |
| It's a likable evening, if not a memorable one |
| Little to offer but surface caricature |
| This is the first UK production of a genuine comic masterpiece |
| Garsington has scored a hit |
| La Cenerentola |
|
| Garsington Opera | | | Vocal honours go to the Turkish mezzo Ezgi Kutlu as Angelina |
| The audience left the beautiful manor and gardens of Garsington happily ever after |
| Garsington’s fine cast isn’t vintage Rossini |
| The only heat at the opening night of La Cenerentola was generated by the performance |
| Fidelio |
|
| Garsington Opera | | | There are no special effects in John Cox's Fidelio |
| Helicopters and opera don't mix! |
| Rebecca von Lipinski sang Leonore with a gloriously vibrant timbre |
| Rebecca von Lipinski had the courage and resilience at the top and bottom of the voice |
| Così fan tutte | |
| Garsington Opera | | | The Fiordiligi and Guglielmo were by far the most promising members of the cast |
| The Rake's Progress |
|
| Garsington Opera | | | A striking, modern-dress staging of The Rake’s Progress |
| A rigorous examination of virtue scorned |
| Olivia Fuch's brilliant production is confident and sure-footed |
| There was something surreal about the gilded proscenium stage in the courtyard of Garsington Manor |
| A disappointing realisation of one of the 20th century’s greatest operas |
| Purves and Bickley add both experience and a touch of real class |
| The allusive and stylistic sophistication of Stravinsky's neo-classicism is dazzling |
| Spilling out of this Rake's Progress is a panoply of venal modern London that Hogarth himself might have applauded |
| L'incoronazione di Dario |
|
| Garsington Opera | | | This production made it work very well as theatre |
| Lively, bouncy - and pointless |
| David Freeman's lithe production makes the most of Vivaldi's unpredictability |
| Vibrant account of L'Incoronazione di Dario |
| A mixed but often interesting evening |
| The music comes across as a washing-line of arias |
