Carmen
Opera trio at Playhouse
Ellen Kent brings trio of operas to Playhouse:
Renowned opera producer Ellen Kent returns to the Playhouse this week with her Opera & Ballet International productions of three of the most popular operas in the repertoire.
Carmen
★★★★★ Sharp as a dagger
Assembly Roxy: Tues 23 – Sat 27 February 2016
Review by Catriona Graham:
For their first production in the Assembly Roxy, Edinburgh Studio Opera set Bizet’s opera of love, lust and death during the Spanish Civil War.
Carmen
★★★★☆ Dark and dramatic:
It may be a slow starter, but there’s no shortage of drama at the Festival Theatre this fortnight with Scottish Opera’s production of Carmen.
Matthew Bourne’s The Car Man
✭✭✭✩✩ Impressive energy:
Accomplished, athletic dancing and clever staging are present and correct in The Car Man. However, it lacks the emotional punch to be an unqualified success.
