New Sadler’s Wells Opera, Sadler’s Wells Theatre, London 1988 Cast: Valerie Masterson, Martin Smith, Rosemary Ashe.
"About the staging I have no doubts. Ian Judge’s production is affectionate, unobtrusive and highly accomplished." - The Telegraph "The whole show, beautifully mounted by Ian Judge is so spotless and well mannered that I hardly dare clear my throat for fear of breaking the magic spell." - The Sunday Express "The reason why I call Ian Judge’s new production generous-hearted is that this charming dated mixture would be all too easy to mock. But, instead, Judge plays it straight and sincere, unafraid of pathos – and the gamble pays off. The production renders perfectly the sad, restless mood of the piece; that of an eternal twilight." - The Sunday Times |
