Performer: Ailish Tynan

Ich kam wie sonst auch beim Royal Opera House an, machte es mir auf meinem Sitz bequem und – können Sie es glauben – die Oper war weg!

English National Opera's revival of Phelim McDermott’s popular production is a blend of spectacle with some first-class singing, with Lucy Crowe emphasising her Mozartian credentials. 

Annabel Arden’s production provides joyous comedy, with vocal and orchestral performances of the very finest.

The Irish soprano talks about singing Mozart’s Così fan tutte with English National Opera, in London and Manchester – and how the wily Despina is the perfectly subversive character for her.
