Jonathan Kent recently offered us a brilliant production of The Fairy Queen and although his Don Giovanni presented at Glyndebourne last year was not so good, we can be optimistic and hope for a thrilling show tonight. Will be interesting how he will cope with the ambiguity of the main character: is she insane or actually possessed by the ghosts?!
The cast is promising with always superb Toby Spence and with Miah Persson opening a non-Mozartian chapter of her career.
You can watch the web-stream either on the Glyndebourne Festival website, or on The Guardian website. See also an introduction to this opera very well organized by The Guardian staff (and a Trailer below)
Enjoy!
It is maybe a moment to remind you of the extraordinary production of this opera presented at Aix several years ago (DVD available), directed by Luc Bondy, conducted by Daniel Harding, and with equally extraordinary Mireille Delunsch in the role of the Governess.
