Mozart: Le Nozze di Figaro (Glyndebourne)
Sally Matthews (Countess Almaviva); Vito Priante (Figaro); Audun Iversen (Count Almaviva); Lydia Teuscher (Susanna); Isabel Leonard (Cherubino); Ann Murray (Marcelllina);
"... this is a Figaro of rare grace, naturalness and charm. Robin Ticciatis conducting is seamlessly complementary. The cast amounts to a classic Glyndebourne ensemble. Sally Matthews sings the Countesss arias with perfect poise, while Lydia Teuscher makes a delightfully practical Susanna. Audun Iversen and Vito Priante are well-matched as the Count and Figaro, while Isabel Leonard is an enchanting disco-bunny of a Cherubino. The rest of the cast is terrific, and the whole thing moves like lightning. Pure joy." (The Daily Telegraph)
