Reviews

User Review: 11Jan01: On the evidence of this revival of Gounod s opera, the House is finally firing on all cylinders – especially in the orchestra, who had one of their truly superlative nights.

User Review: 11Jan01: Sir [Charles Mackerras] conducted a delightful but somewhat unwieldy score with total authority. [Nicolas Joel] s adequate production would look handsome in its conventional way, if only a little more light could be cast on it.
