Bobatrice et Puerilict. No es Shakespeare todo lo que se canta

Laurent Pelly has created a highly stylised production grey in both costumes and make-up

Leicht eintönige Berlioz-Inszenierung

Star of the show is mezzo-soprano Stephanie d’Oustrac

It is the beauty of the quieter and more contemplative moments that leave the deepest impression

The music is five-star, but the production is four-star and the story-line is only two-star

The beauty of the playing and the physical comedy are redeeming elements

Love labours in fifty shades of grey

Elegant but needs more emotion

Too much outside-the-box thinking

A rare outing for the comic opera from the pen of Berlioz by way of Shakespeare

Laughs, merriment, joie de vivre and poignancy wrapped into a very well-made production

Laurent Pelly’s new production for Glyndebourne is certainly capricious

Immaculately sung
