Le nozze di Figaro |
|
| Garsington Opera | | | What a way for Figaro to take its leave of Garsington! |
| Garsington's Le Nozze di Figaro could not have been more perfectly conceived |
| Two tasty Figaros offer a feast for Mozart lovers |
| A production as thoroughly distinguished, yet engaging, as you could expect to enjoy. |
| Armida |
|
| Garsington Opera | | | Feu d’artifice final |
| Bristol-born soprano Jessica Pratt, singing the title role, was stunning |
| Jessica Pratt emphasises Armida’s Mrs Thatcher-like determination |
| What pleasure there is, is to be found in the score |
| A fine evening in a delightful venue |
| Garsington is to be congratulated on its efforts to produce this treasure trove of an opera |
| A powerfully delivered performance |
| Rossini's Armida reveals itself as far more than a soprano showcase |
| A boldly coloured and stylised production |
| What sets the performance alight is Jessica Pratt’s Armida |
| A Midsummer Night's Dream |
|
| Garsington Opera | | | Musically refined, funny, perceptive |
| Daniel Slater’s production provides delightfully appropriate seasonal entertainment |
| Everything is charming, sentimental, somewhat bemusing in its dreamlike lack of logic |
| A glorious production of no common rate, as wise as it is beautiful |
| Steuart Bedford unfolds Britten's score with exactly the right sense of dream-like rapture |
| The final coup de theatre took the breath away, with its bold simplicity |
| Steuart Bedford conducted lovingly if not quite incisively |
| Daniel Slater’s staging is presented by an exceptional ensemble |
| 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 |
