I am glad to take the opportunity in reply to concur that this performance in so many respects was indeed excellent as were any of the three productions I have seen from this adventurous company. I too have traveled to see l productions abroad and value greatly having this rich theatrical experience close to home.<br />Yes, it might be a bit too soon for Damnation next year but no better man than John O'Brien to do justice to Berlioz should he take on the audacious challenge. <br />Cathy Desmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032146147358267682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7491569710507705729.post-73995263533930338272015-02-28T11:41:36.323+00:002015-02-28T11:41:36.323+00:00I support every single word of this comment.

Thank you for such an extensive article. <br />The weak points, if any should be mentioned as the performance was altogether of a very high level - and I attend live performances all over Europe several times a year - were the unchanging stage, and maybe to a much lesser extend the mezzo's and tenor's executions on Friday 28.2.15. But this is really a matter of taste. <br />I would love to see a Damnation de Faust next year - for the sake of exploring even more Goethe's work- but of course it could be seen as a lack of diversity in Cork. Damnation would step upwards the challenge for the production team but they've got us used to excellence by now :) . <br />What about a Fidelio? or even better a Leonore (1805)?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
