The Orchestra of Classical Opera

A poised and pretty outing of a prodigy's exercises

Olivia Bell, 16th May

Mozart's “pasticcio concertos”, composed at the remarkable age of 11, may lack integral vibrancy and brilliance, but are brought to life by an exuberant Bezuidenhout

****1

Early Mozart from Classical Opera

Dominic Lowe, 21st March

Mozart's first stage work was written when he was just eleven years old; in this performance by Classical Opera, the composer's youthful writing and touches of humour are brought to life by a solid cast and lively conducting.

****1

Unknown repertoire fizzles, but fades

Louise Flind, 19th September

Haydn's La canterina provides cheerful undemanding entertainment from Classical Opera.

Classical Opera's Don Giovanni at Cadogan Hall

Dominic Lowe, 17th June

Ian Page assembled a fine cast, with a particularly good Leporello from David Soar for yet another superb performance of Mozart from Classical Opera.

****1

Jommelli's Vologeso thrown to the lions

Mark Pullinger, 28th April

A concert performance wasn't perhaps the best way to make a case for Jommelli's Il Vologeso, presented as part of Classical Opera's Mozart 250 series.

Youthful singing bring out the charm in Mozart's Il re pastore

Nahoko Gotoh, 12th November

Ian Page and the Classical Opera Company have made a specialty of performing early Mozart operas and at the weekend, they gave two performances of his two-act serenata, Il re pastore as part of the series “Mozart Unwrapped” at Kings Place.
