Béatrice et Bénédict by H. Berlioz, from Glyndebourne Festival Opera, performed at Glyndebourne Festival Theatre, Glyndebourne, 2016. Directed by Laurent Pelly, conductor Antonello Manacorda, starring Philippe Sly, Stéphanie d’Oustrac, Paul Appleby, Sophie Karthäuser, Lionel Lhote, Frédéric Caton, Katarina Bradić. Performed in French and subtitled in English, German, French and Korean.

Through the eye of French director Laurent Pelly this expression of Berlioz’s undying admiration for the Bard — his adaptation of Much Ado about Nothing as an opéra comique — becomes "an elegant treatise on love and music designed in shades of grey with 50s-era costumes" (Sunday Express ★★★★).

 

Housed by designer Barbara de Limburg in a series of oversized boxes, it’s "terribly chic, terribly pretty" (The Spectator).

 

Soaring over the warmly graceful playing of the London Philharmonic’, Paul Appleby sings ‘attractively’ as Bénédict and Stéphanie d’Oustrac "makes a marvellously wiry and fiery Béatrice, singing with charm and acting with gusto" (The Telegraph).
