Our Autumn tour of Handel's Amadigi is finally underway, and the production has been warmly received by the public and the press alike.

★★★★
"quantities of emotional, incisive singing... It's so good to have English Touring Opera back"
The Times

"Conway tackles the requisite onstage wizardry with inventive glee... the performances here are strong. [Francesca] Chiejina is exceptional, whether attempting seduction, conjuring up Furies or giving voice to
lonely despair."
The Guardian

"Magical show casts an enjoyable spell…a sharp modern take on age-old themes"
Evening Standard

★★★★
"sizzles with energy, fizzes with musical delight and rejoices in an understated sense of fun."
Bachtrack

“With all the ingredients for a fine performance: excellent cast, great music, love tangled plot and a wonderful set, Amadigi delighted the audience… The quartet of singers captivate”
Yorkshire Times

“[James Conway's] production’s sleights of design serve as telling metaphors for the protagonists’ inner confusions and illusions... this English Touring Opera production enchants.”
Opera Today
