Fantastic storylines abound in opera, but these grand musical settings of much-loved fairytales embrace the imaginary, giving free rein to dreams. The Royal Opera's acclaimed Hansel and Gretel combines the directors' characteristic wit and knack for dark comedy with the story's enduring charm. Glyndebourne's recounting of the quick-witted fox's escape into nature balances the opera's whimsy and mysticism. Opera North's enchanting staging of Jonathan Dove's 21st opera is a wittily inventive feast for the eyes and ears, shining new light on Collodi's original tale, by turns magical and dark. InchWhat an inspired and exciting opera this is. Gorgeous characters, a busy story rich in incident and an exhilarating mix of music. Delight follows delight.Inch (The Stage - The Adventures of Pinocchio) InchNot only was the production a great one to attend as a first opera, but the [video] is perhaps as good an introduction to opera as one could hope for, a success on almost every front.Inch (Musicweb International - Hansel und Gretel) InchLucy Crowe's glowingly sung Vixen... Tom Pye's Hockneyish designs are evocative of a world of childish wonder, with animal costumes which cleverly suggest human characteristic.Inch (The Daily Telegraph - The Cunning Little Vixen)
Autumn 1918. A group of soldiers returns from the trenches. The world-weary Benedick and his friend Claudio find themselves reacquainted with Beatrice and Hero. As memories of conflict give way to a life of parties and masked balls, Claudio and Hero fall madly, deeply in love, while Benedick and Beatrice reignite their own rather more combative courtship. Shakespeare's comic romance plays out amidst the brittle high spirits of a post-war house party, as youthful passions run riot, lovers are deceived and happiness is threatened - before peace ultimately wins out. 'This is the most blissfully entertaining and emotionally involving RSC offering I've seen in ages.' (The Daily Telegraph) 'This is, in it's entirety, an endeavor that sings poignant, impassioned and gorgeous... Brilliantly comic... extraordinarily powerful' (The Times) 'A marvel... immaculately coordinated.' (The Daily Mail) 'These productions are a joy... Edward Bennett and Michelle Terry make a splendid pairing. ' (The Sunday Times)
