Dvorak’s stunning score is so deliciously luscious that I forgot just how gruesome the plot of Russalka is. This Glyndebourne touring production wavers between the visually complex to the beautifully simplistic. I was transported by the elegant scenes of water spirits and… Read more →
Glyndebourne tour launches with a slightly pared down production of this year’s Mozart, and what a joy. The odd late sixties setting, reminiscent of the film ‘Stardust’, all hippy rock’n’roll glamour, was at times distracting, especially the terrible ‘dad’ dancing, but nothing… Read more →
These short operas are full of French slang and the delightful translations are so much easier to read as cinema sub-titles than as text suspended over the Glyndebourne stage. I could devote all my attention to the brilliant music and performances. This… Read more →
I loved this ‘Figaro’ in the opera house and now the same superlative music and production is expertly captured live on film in fascinating detail. All the characters had even more to give (we couldn’t see the Count’s spliff in the opera… Read more →
