Gluck sought simplicity; Longborough Festival Opera delivers simplicity with a most enjoyable and engaging production of Orfeo

Jenůfa unfurls with chilling intensity at Longborough with the talented Lee Bisset in the title role. 

Just as we would often rather come out of a barber's with a haircut reasonably similar to the one with which we walked in, but just a bit smarter and tidier, sometimes it’s nice to see a well-known and much-loved opera done straight, and done well. 

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.
