Così fan tutte Reviews"Sarah-Jane Davies is a glorious Fiordiligi and internationally-renowned
Lillian Watson is a tremendous Despina." "There is never a dull moment in this Cosi fan tutte set in a
fashionable English seaside resort at the turn of the nineteenth century...
Sarah-Jane Davies shone as Fiordiligi, singing with warmth and clarity, soaring
to the top of her register with apparent ease in her two big arias." "...conducted with great passion by Leo Hussain... Stafford-Allen and
Watson are outstanding. This is probing, intelligent music theatre." "The transposition by director Annilese Miskimmon from 18th century
Vienna to Edwardian England works beautifully. Doreen Curran displays a fine
coquettish humour and Sarah Jane Davies had a great success with her challenging
solo "Per pieta". Charles Johnston is a commanding Don Alfonso...
Lillian Watson is a delight. The opera is a rich amalgam of rapturous solos and
duets... this production makes it both a visual and aural delight." |
