Escape to the country: Bernstein's Candide at Iford
Charlotte Valori, 29th May
Jeff Clarke's characteristically high-octane style seems made for the sarcastic, hyperactive existential madness that is Candide in this little gem of a production for Iford.

A Fairy Queen at Iford
Charlotte Valori, 23rd July
An especially adapted version of Purcell's Fairy Queen, reworked by Timothy Nelson, inspires an exceptional reading from a talented young cast at Iford.

So foul and fair a day: Verdi's Macbeth at Iford
Charlotte Valori, 11th June
Iford's stone cloister makes a suitably eerie setting for a fine traditional account of Verdi's Macbeth, notable for its powerful male leads, from Iford Festival Opera and the CHROMA Ensemble.

Getting behind the mask: an intense Ballo at Iford
Charlotte Valori, 6th June
While it may seem perfectly formed for the full grand opera treatment, Verdi's classic Un ballo in maschera can also work extremely well on a small scale, as shown by this intimate and compelling treatment by Timothy Nelson at Iford.

Some enchanted evening: La rondine at Iford
Charlotte Valori, 14th June
Rapturously romantic, intimate, moving, unforgettable: more English summer opera should be like Iford. And the garden is like Narnia in the spring.

Les errances de Don Quichotte à l'Opéra de Lausanne
Romain Daroles, 5th October
La mise en scène de Bruno Ravella comme la direction musicale de Laurent Campellone et la distribution ne parviennent à saisir que de manière intermittent le ton singulier de l'ouvrage de Massenet.
