Time is against me doing a full review but I wanted to alert everyone to a special evening all this week.
Until this I've always been a bit ambivalent about Britten's music and I have to admit that this was my first experience of this Opera, but even on a warm summer's evening this had me chilled throughout and on the edge of my seat.
A fine production - the most traditional I've seen from the ENO ins my 40 years of visiting.
Although the cast were subtly amplified they sang with great clarity (apart perhaps form Mrs Grose) and it was totally beguiling in one of my favourite venues.
The atmosphere was more intimate than is often the case and it made a for a totally engrossing night out.
