En direct, Vidéo: Rechercher des critiques de musique classique, opéra et ballet | Opera Project

Opera Project’s production of Verdi’s famous and arguably most-loved opera La Traviata was not lacking in impact, considering it was a small-scale production. This being the second time I have seen an Opera Project production, I am certainly not dissuaded from seeing what they come up with next. La Traviata is a chamber opera, in a way, well suited to the smaller venue of St George’s Bristol.

A classic opera, Rossini’s The Barber of Seville was displayed in a new light by Opera Project this Friday. The easygoing plot of this 19th-century rom-com never tires when given a fresh edge, despite being so frequently performed. Taken out of the context of an opera house and downscaled, this Barber of Seville came to life in an intimate setting with some new words.
