THe tickets were a gift to my son and daugher-in-law. They found the production excellent and loved every minute of an evening of gorgeous voices (soprana... Georgian, particularly praised), hilarity, and beautiful music. They were extremely pleased with the performance.Written on Sep 23 2009

We attended the matinee with the 2nd cast of young performers. The opera was very cleverly staged, with bits of nonsense perfectly timed. But the excitement and great pleasure came from the young leads, the Count, Rosina and Figaro. I expect to see more of that beautiful young Georgian singer who sang Rosina. Her clear bel canto and perfectly delightful acting was a joy. And the after opera Q&A with performers made the afternoon truly perfect.Written on Sep 14 2009

Bel canto specialist Silvia Tro Santafé and Operalia winner Ketevan Kemoklidze make their WNO debuts as the fiery Rosina.
