"Melbourne has joined the international opera community. Director Ian Judge pulled an original rabbit out of his operatic hat with yet another original musical arrangement. A lot of new material surfaced, and some familiar bits were missing, but the production was so spectacular that purists would find it hard to fault. Nothing about this production was as expected." - Opera News |
