Our Review:
30 January 2010
Back at Covent Garden for its sixth revival, Jonathan Miller’s Royal Opera/Teatro dell’Opera Rome co-production of Mozart and Da Ponte’s Così fan tutte here is perhaps most notable for the house debut of conductor Julia Jones, British but almost a stranger to these shores.
Like Jonathan Nott and Donald Runnicles, she has made her career away from these shores – like Nott particularly in Germany, but also Austria (where she has been a regular at the Vienna State Opera for ten years), Switzerland and now Portugal. So a wholehearted welcome to her and her spirited marshalling of Mozart’s last collaboration with Da Ponte, leading a particularly strong female ensemble in what is, in effect, an exquisite six-hander.
On stage it is Sally Matthews who steals the show with her extraordinarily observed Fiordiligi. While Miller’s men seem to be all-too-readily playing a game, Matthews is anguished at the amorous possibilities laid before...
