Paradise reduced: New Sussex Opera's Delius

Matthew Rye, 28th March

Despite a much reduced orchestra and a slightly awkward staging, New Sussex Opera's production of Delius's A Village Romeo and Juliet still gave us the chance to wallow in a glorious late-Romantic score.

Charlotte Valori, 24th November

Fine soprano performances from Ruth Jenkins-Róbertsson and Victoria Simmonds can't save Ambroise Thomas's inanimate object of a plot. Thank goodness Wagner saved us from more of the same.

Die Regisseurin Brigitte Fassbaender beweist einen grünen Daumen für Mozarts frühes Dramma giocosa und lässt neben mitreißend witzigem Szenenspiel einfühlsame Charakterporträts entstehen.
