L’incoronazione di Poppea vividly brought to life at the Grange

Terrific music making with a light directorial touch brings mixed results to Monteverdi's 1643 masterpiece.

Finely cast Orlando from La Nuova Musica
Nahoko Gotoh, 1st February
Handel’s opera Orlando is famous for the great mad scene at the end of Act 2. Specifically written for the celebrated castrato Senesino, it’s an emotionally powerful ten-minute monologue.

La Calisto: Sublime singing
Olivia Bell, 28th November
Despite the beautiful sensitivity of La Nuova Musica, coupled with some truly sublime singing, the silliness of Cavalli’s opera is sometimes overplayed in this semi-staged production; less is, sometimes, more.

A dusty curio: Handel's Berenice, regina d'Egitto
Charlotte Valori, 17th March
A strong cast and fine playing from La Nuova Musica gives Handel's Berenice a reasonably fair outing, but its original plot weaknesses constrain this opera from being anything more than a curio for the Handel connoisseur.

Friars just wanna have fun: Cesti's Orontea
Charlotte Valori, 14th December
A very naughty translation and some fine singing make for a delightfully comic evening of Cesti's recently rediscovered Orontea at Wigmore Hall.
