Past Reviews:
Merry Opera – ’18 years of thrilling the doubtful and yet still delighting the devotees’ ‘“You restored my faith in the idea that all music/stage performance – whether it be modern rock or classical – is best experienced on a human-scale, immediate, in-your-face and full of visibly expressed humanity, with the performers inhabiting their parts and singing with convincing emotion.’
