"For the second time this year, the Royal Opera has hit the jackpot with a Donizetti comedy. Back in January, it was the Italian composer’s zany French farce La Fille du régiment. The production was the work of the Frenchman Laurent Pelly and his regular set designer, Chantal Thomas, who now, with near perfect symmetry and even greater success, return to stage Donizetti’s comic masterpiece, his charming melodramma giocoso L’elisir d’amore. This time round, Pelly, who also designed the costumes, and Thomas deserve the lion’s share of the credit, since this is a production bereft of its promised superstar.' Sunday Times - Donizetti's L’elisir d’amore, Royal Opera House
'Drop them all [the entire cast] into a production from Laurent Pelly that needs no special pleading on comedic grounds, and is by turns elegant, witty, and laugh-out-loud funny, and you've one of the happiest nights the Royal Opera has fielded since I don't know when.' The Independent - Donizetti's La Fille du Régiment, Royal Opera House
'Prokofiev's enchantingly surreal commedia dell'arte masterwork
is turned into a spectacular triumph of total theatre in this vital
production from the Amsterdam Muziektheater.' Opus Arte
'It's a terrific show, bursting with wit, style and distanced objectivity'. Opera Magazine |
