WNO’s very well sung Un ballo in maschera in Llandudno |
29 Apr 19 / Seen and Heard |
This production was full of energy and originality |
12 Apr 19 / Chew Valley Gazette |
In essence, lots of lovely music to enjoy, but rather too much in the way of distracting detail on stage |

Clever stuff, and often intriguing, but occasionally baffling |

Make no bones about it: WNO’s forces are the best Verdians this side of the Alps |

Much to admire, musically and visually, in David Pountney’s WNO Un ballo in maschera premiere |
14 Feb 19 / Seen and Heard |
A tongue-in-cheek staging to be sure, but none the worse for that |

Ballo II, the American cut: an indigestible staging by David Pountney for WNO |

Mary Elizabeth Williams, as Amelia, gives a finely nuanced and musically exquisite performance |
