​These three facets in the prism of Mozart’s operatic genius shine inGlyndebourne’s typically thought-provoking productions, featuring skilled singer–actors buoyed by the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment’s luminous periodsound. Nicholas Hytner’s beautiful, ‘shockingly traditional’ production of Così fantutte frames artful performances teased by Iván Fischer from an outstandinginternational cast of  convincing young lovers. Michael Grandage’s staging of Lenozze di Figaro is Glyndebourne’s seventh in a line stretching back to thecompany’s 1934 début production. Marshalled by the ‘ideal pacing’ of RobinTicciati, a youthful cast of principals has ‘no weak link’ and ‘looks gorgeous’ (TheSunday Times). David McVicar’s Die Entführung aus dem Serail offers a‘mesmerising, sensitive ... outstanding’ portrayal of Enlightenment-era fascinationwith the East that is both ‘exquisitely acted and sung’ (The Guardian), and Ticciatileads the OAE through a restored, authentic rendition of the critical score with‘lovely fizz’ and ‘poignant gravitas’.
