Opera: Bravo

"The moment you hear this music it's gone. Nobody else will ever hear it again in this version. That's what's really special."

"Even Verdi when he was writing his Shakespeare operas he didn't dare actually take on Shakespeare's text. Britten is one of the few people in history that actually set Shakespeare's text and all but one sentence is the original Shakespeare."

""In the martini of this show, the gin is Euripides and a rinse of vermouth is Stoker. It's like a Victorian staging of the Bacchae with a little swirl of the Dracula."
