If Opera 2024 | Season reviews
“A brilliantly directed, played and sung production. Five stars! Donizetti’s wonderful music was treated with real respect. Spine-tinglingly good.”
“Quite simply the most exciting and immersive experience I have had of opera - visceral, emotional and of the very highest standard. Would rather attend If Opera than La Scala or Covent Garden any day of the week. Highlight of the summer...”
“…this year was something else - Fledermaus was a cut above, and Lucia was stratospheric. Thank you all, it was out of this world.”
“a performance of Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor that is resplendent with fabulous young voices”
“strong vocal performances and music that fizzes along, the operetta retains an authentic Viennese feel”
“the packed audience thoroughly enjoyed it”
“Simon Butteriss and his excellent cast prove that if it’s done with relish, Die Fledermaus is a joy for all the audience, and one they will long remember.”
“Honestly one of the most special operas I have been to and I am a regular at Covent Garden.”
“…what a night! The organisation was perfect, the setting amazing and the theatre and stage were fantastic. And the performance was brilliant. The young cast excelled themselves, their energy and commitment to their roles made for a wonderful and memorable opera experience.”
“A memorable evening with a clear production that was world class.”
