The ‘sheer visual sophistication’ of Annabel Arden’s Barbiere serves ‘a triumphant celebration of Rossini’s musical genius’, featuring de Niese’s ‘powerfully sung’ Rosina, Bürger’s ‘gale-force’ Figaro and Stayton’s ‘pure and mellifluous’ Almaviva – a leading trio ‘musically and dramatically beyond compare’ (The Independent 5 Stars). Contributing to the ‘ensemble precision’, the rest of the cast includes a ‘scene-stealing’ Berta in Kelly, a ‘suavely unctuous’ Basilio from Stamboglis and Corbelli’s Bartolo, ‘an object lesson in comic understatement’ (The Guardian). With Enrique Mazzola at the helm of the London Philharmonic Orchestra, ‘the score bubbles along on a Puckish current of merry mischief’ (The Telegraph). Sales Points* First new Glyndebourne production of the Rossini masterpiece for 30 years * Stars Danielle de Niese & Alessandro Corbelli . The Bürger-Stayton double act is the answer to all your summertime needs. Sophisticated and funny, they're the ideal complement to a festive sunshine picnic." (WhatsOn Stage)"…conductor Enrique Mazzola gets Rossini’s music to sizzle. No slouching, no lingering here and there – just razor-sharp playing from the London Philharmonic Orchestra at helter-skelter speeds." (The Financial Times)"...a convincing reading of the text and a triumphant celebration of Rossini’s musical genius ... Enrique Mazzola ... teases out the wit in the score with barbed delicacy, inducing players and singers to deliver the music with perfectly-judged precision ...No singer-actor alive can compete with Alessandro Corbelli’s high-octane incarnation of the cuckolded Dr Bartolo. Danielle de Niese’s powerfully-sung Rosina is a caged and dangerous wild animal, while Björn Bürger’s gale-force Figaro and Taylor Stayton’s mischievous Almaviva are musically and dramatically beyond compare, Bürger’s commanding baritone offset by Stayton’s extraordinarily pure and mellifluous bel canto tenor: move over, Juan Diego Florez. " (The Independent)"... the combination of ensemble precision and focused individual performances, so crucial to Rossinian comedy, is beautifully judged ... Corbelli’s Bartolo is an object lesson in comic understatement. Bürger rightly dominates with singing of great bravado and warmth ... this is a performance of considerable distinction. Enrique Mazzola’s conducting is spot on in its combination of energy and exactitude and the London Philharmonic plays with admirable spirit and finesse." (The Guardian)"The expert Enrique Mazzola is conducting and, with the help of the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the score bubbles along on a Puckish current of merry mischief." (The Daily Telegraph)"The most commanding presence is Alessandro Corbelli’s — he delivers a nicely detailed comic character study as Bartolo, the peevish old man who lusts after Rosina, his beautiful young ward. She is sung by Danielle de Niese, a vibrant stage presence and a vocal force of nature. Everyone benefits from the energy generated by the London Philharmonic Orchestra under Enrique Mazzola: they are the production’s real powerhouse." (The Evening Standard)
