Others in the family went to see Le Nozze di Figaro at the Royal Opera House, and came back with good reports. The only slight reservation was about the orchestra being a little lacking in colour compared with the singing, which was uniformly good. (A criticism which occured to us also after our last visit). Special mention to Ann Murray as Marcellina.
The production emphasised the broad comedy rather than the social comment. Here’s a review from the Guardian here.
