GIyndebourne's SauI stole the summer and had critics raving. The Guardian (****) appIauded virtuoso stagecraft from director Barrie Kosky in his debut production there, caIling the show a theatricaI and musicaI feast of energetic choruses, surreaI choreography and gorgeous singing. For The lndependent, which ranked it amongst five top classical and opera performances of 2015, there was no praise too high for the cast. The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment under lvor BoIton sparkles from the pit with period panache, and designer Katrin Lea Tag's exuberant costumes (The Times ****) set the OId Testament story in Handel's time, with a witty twinge of the contemporary.Press Reviews "Musically this evening is weIl-nigh flawless. No praise too high for the singing of Davies, AppIeby, and Purves; of Lucy Crowe and Sophie Bevan as Merab and MichaI respectiveIy, and of Benjamin HulIett as a cross between a cIown and a soothsayer." (The lndependent)"Barrie Kosky's first show for the company is a theatricaI and musicaI feast of energetic choruses, surreal choreography and gorgeous singing ... Ivor BoIton conducts the Orchestra of the Age of EnIightenment with tremendous eIan: theatricaIly and musicaIly, this is one of Glyndebourne's finest shows of recent years." (The Guardian)"There is nothing safe about this show. lt's a knockout that brings the work bIazingIy alive and transforms bewigged pieties into high human drama." (The Daily Telegraph)Cast
