Hansel und Gretel |
|
| Glyndebourne Festival | | | Musically it's little short of miraculous |
| A warm welcome for a meticulously restaged Hänsel and Gretel |
| The evening’s great triumph comes from the orchestra pit |
| An inventive but decidedly charmless, post-ideological Humperdinck makeover |
| Don Giovanni |
|
| Glyndebourne Festival | | | The hottest sparks fly in the pit as Jurowski tackles Mozart's trickiest masterpiece for the first time |
| Jonathan Kent’s reinvention of Don Giovanni at Glyndebourne is magnificent |
| Magnificent 'Don Giovanni' dazzles at Glyndebourne |
| Tautness and leanness characterises Jonathan Kent's staging of Mozart's masterpiece |
| Mozart’s masterpiece proves as elusive as ever |
| An overall problem is tone |
| An evening of bland neutrality |
| The crushing first chord of the Overture plunges us into darkness |
| Macbeth |
|
| Glyndebourne Festival | | | It’s difficult to find coherence in Jones’ conception |
| An audacious production for Glyndebourne |
| Erika Sunnegårdh has taken to heart Verdi's instruction not to avoid vocal ugliness |
| Verdi's Macbeth is distinguished by fine conducting from Vasily Petrenko |
| Jones's telling of the story misses the cumulative mythic power of Verdi’s and Shakespeare’s originals |
| Così fan tutte |
|
| Glyndebourne Festival | | | The sum of all the parts just failed to add up |
| There are no frills in Nicholas Hytner’s Cosi for Glyndebourne |
| A clear-eyed and cruel Cosi fan tutte |
| Nicholas Hytner's popular 2006 production has been nicely revived at Glyndebourne |
| Altogether a glorious production and a real joy |
| The dramatic temperature was zero |
| Charles Mackerras's conducting produces warm and vivid tones |
| Billy Budd |
|
| Glyndebourne Festival | | | A 2010 Billy Budd that exemplifies all the virtues of the Glyndebourne company system |
| In 'Billy Budd,' a cry for kindness pierces a haunting moral grayness |
| Brilliantly cast, evocatively staged and deeply satisfying |
| Michael Grandage's handsome production of Britten's brutal classic is as good as opera can get |
| A tense staging meticulously and passionately conducted by Sir Mark Elder |
| Billy Budd makes superb debut at Glyndebourne |
| Kein Lüftchen dringt in diese Männerwelt |
| 'Billy Budd' lacks sizzle |
| Jacques Imbrailo gives the performance of his life in the title role |
