Performer: Blackwater Valley Opera Festival Chorus

Tom Creed’s witty production at Lismore Castle delivers strong singing, sharp comedy and lively orchestral playing, even if the opera’s darker supernatural edges are somewhat diminished.

Farce, slapstick and cruel humour are to the fore in this Blackwater Valley Opera production of Donizetti's Don Pasquale. 

Rachel Kelly shines in a mixed production at Lismore Castle.
