En direct, Vidéo: Rechercher des critiques de musique classique, opéra et ballet | Julia Mariko

Harmonious images and geometric designs frame an effective staging and well sung performance of Monteverdi's last opera.

Setting the life of Vera Brittain to the music of Ivor Novello, Buxton Festival's new musical is a welcome if overambitious showcase for them both.
