2025 Summer Festival Reviews

Ambitious and welcoming, Garsington is now considered by many opera lovers to be the place to be during the summer months
Clive Paget, Musical America

★★★★★
“Luscombe and his uniformly excellent cast understand that while comedy provides the surface appeal of Donizetti’s enduring piece, not far beneath lies an essential pathos”

George Hall, The Stage, L’elisir d’amore

★★★★★
“A feast of glorious singing, brilliant production and the most accomplished orchestral performance you could ever hope to hear”
Melanie Eskenazi, Music OMH, Rodelinda

★★★★
“Jack Furness’s staging is something of a collector’s item among productions of The Queen of Spades”
Neil Fisher, The Times, The Queen of Spades

★★★★★
“…an evening of ambitious staging, superb singing and fascinating playing”
Melanie Eskenazi, Music OMH, Fidelio
