Artiste: Tiffin Choirs

This Strauss-Puccini Prom concert paired the Symphonic Fantasy from Die Frau ohne Schatten and Puccini's one-act opera, Suor Angelica. 

Is Puccini's second opera unloved and unlovable? Opera Holland Park makes a commendable attempt to revive Edgar, but struggles to overcome its many flaws.

There was a tingle to this concert, as if musicians and audience alike saw clearly for the first time what riches lie ahead.
