These three facets in the prism of Mozart's operatic genius shine in Glyndebourne's typically thought-provoking productions, featuring skilled singer-actors buoyed by the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment's luminous period sound. Nicholas Hytner's beautiful, 'shockingly traditional' production of Così fan tutte frames artful performances teased by Ivan Fischer from an outstanding international cast of convincing young lovers. Michael Grandage's staging of Le nozze di Figaro is Glyndebourne's seventh in a line stretching back to the company's 1934 debut production. Marshalled by the 'ideal pacing' of Robin Ticciati, a youthful cast of principals has 'no weak link' and 'looks gorgeous' (The Sunday Times). David McVicar's Die Entfuhrung aus dem Serail offers a 'mesmerising, sensitive... outstanding' portrayal of Enlightenment-era fascination with the East that is both 'exquisitely acted and sung' (The Guardian), and Ticciati leads the OAE through a restored, authentic rendition of the critical score with 'lovely fizz' and 'poignant gravitas'. (The Independent). "Glorious orchestral playing and magnificent singing under Ivan Fischer" (Cosi fan tutte - BBC Music Magazine) "Finely conducted by Robin Ticciati, McVicar's production of Mozart's Turkish comedy is a vocal and visual treat." (Die Entfuhrung - The Stage) "... this is a Figaro of rare grace, naturalness and charm." (Le Nozze di Figaro - The Daily Telegraph)
