REVIEW ROUND-UP: Lucia di Lammermoor at English National Opera
Sarah Tynan takes on the title role in this new revival of David Alden’s original 2008 production of Lucia di Lammermoor at the ENO. Here’s what the critics have been making of it…
‘Sarah Tynan is undoubtedly the best actress on the modern opera stage’: LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR – London Coliseum ★★★★
The madwoman playing the title role in Lucia di Lammermoor is Sarah Tynan – ENO’s most popular soprano, in her debut in this bel canto role. Tynan is undoubtedly the best actress on the modern opera stage.
THE BARBER OF SEVILLE – London Coliseum ★★★★★
A starry home team enthusiastically play up the comedy. Sarah Tynan is one of ENO’s most technically perfect sopranos but she’s also their wittiest actress and her Rosina is effortlessly sung and enjoyably mettlesome.
ARIODANTE – Touring
Joyous yet dark: Death hangs brooding low over Scottish Opera’s fine production of Handel’s Ariodante, at Edinburgh’s Festival theatre for a sadly limited run.
