Intérprete: Meredith Arwady

A piecemeal evening of high musical values as the Adelaide Festival opens with short Stravinsky pieces rather than the usual substantial opera. 

The English theatre directs turns his hand to opera with a staging of Gounod's take on Shakespeare's star-crossed lovers. 

Glimmerglass Opera Festival’s production of Candide leans heavily on a dry comedic sensibility, which most of the cast execute admirably.
