Artiste: John Cox

Simple solutions prove the best in Beethoven's "problem" opera as John Cox's staging is revived at Garsington.

It's been in the Glyndebourne rep for almost fifty years, but John Cox's production, complete with Hockney's iconic set, remains timeless. Robin Ticciati's superb conducting and an excellent cast made this latest revival a complete success.

A memorable performance makes a worthy memorial to the late, great Bernard Haitink, who conducted the production's premiere.
