Critically Acclaimed

Mozart: Le nozze di Figaro
Royal Ballet and Opera
Riccardo Fassi; Giulia Semenzato; Germán E. Alcántara; Federica Lombardi; Hanna Hipp; Gregory Bonfatti
"McVicar’s elegant production strikes a perfect balance between the high seriousness and slapstick comedy of this timeless, surpassingly brilliant work, whose story unfolds in one single day." (The Independent ★★★★★)
"... a fizzy, funny, hugely accomplished revival ..." (The Daily Telegraph ★★★★)
"A lively Riccardo Fassi and Giulia Semenzato spark off of each other as Figaro and Susanna… the remaining cast is excellent." (Opera Now ★★★★)

The Royal Opera Collection
Royal Ballet and Opera
Renée Fleming; Jonas Kaufmann; Diana Damrau; Simon Keenlyside; Anna Caterina Antonacci; Joseph Calleja
"This is a 'Must See' opera!...You'll regret it if you don't!" (Musical Opinion - Le Nozze di Figaro)
"It is the best opera written over the last twenty years." ( Le Monde - Written on Skin)
"Nicola Luisotti draws sensuous playing from the ROH orchestra, he and Paul Wingfield generating daring and witty dissonances in their keyboard continuo." (The Independent ★★★★ - Don Giovanni)

Shakespeare: Henry VI Parts I-III
Royal Shakespeare Company
Mark Quartley; Christopher Middleton; Minnie Gale; Oliver Alvin-Wilson; Ashley D Gayle; Mark Hadfield
"thrilling games of thrones" (The Guardian ★★★★★)
"... powerful and well-measured performances across the board from a necessarily high-energy cast - and impressive production values further recommending the shows..." (Midlands Whats On ★★★★★)
"a bloody, unruly triumph" (The Daily Mail ★★★★)

Monteverdi: Il ritorno d’Ulisse in patria
Teatro La Fenice, Venice
Hana Blažíková; Krystian Adam; Furio Zanasi; Lucile Richardot; Michał Czerniawski; Gareth Treseder
"It's the dramatic power of Monteverdi's music that comes through most strongly, exactly as it should." (The Guardian ★★★★★)
"Gardiner’s Monteverdi Odyssey begins, aptly and superbly, with his Odysseus masterpiece" (The Arts Desk ★★★★★)
"In gorgeous aubergine silk, with a voice to match, Lucile Richardot made a wonderfully imploring and dignified Penelope. Furio Zanasi was her vivid Ulisse; he makes everything he sings sound as natural as speech." (The Times ★★★★★)
