REVIEWS

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “HGO with a talented cast, a tight orchestra and superb direction put on a spectacle in praise of love, joy and a little bit of kinky experimentation.”

“Eloise Lally does a brilliant job of organising 14 people on stage without it ever seeming like chaos and always providing a whole range of expressions and attitudes to watch.”

The Reviews Hub

⭐⭐⭐⭐ “The ensemble company of fourteen young opera singers work tirelessly well together, invested and focused throughout, creating lovely classical tableaux, with each performer getting their chance to shine and sing Purcell’s glorious songs…a vibrant and, yes, charming production.”

The Spy in the Stalls

⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Hampstead Garden Opera (HGO) has entrusted the task to director Eloise Lally and she attacks the piece with wit and verve.”

Plays to See

⭐⭐⭐⭐

“This was a fabulously lavish visual treat – big, camp, joyous and taking no prisoners - and the music was, well, sublime”
