That really was a stunner. @glyndebourne Rossini’s Il Turco in Italia bonkers style! This production, I predict, will become an audience favourite. So original, such fun, the colours ….. and the singing …. kill for a ticket pic.twitter.com/graP03J1To

Quite a treat yesterday, first ever trip to @Glyndebourne to see a hugely entertaining Il Turco in Italia which really zips along. Great to be back in a theatre again – sold to its max legal capacity but the auditorium felt far from empty and the audience vocal with its support

It rained, it was socially distanced, but @glyndebourne was truly magical this evening. The applause for the return of life performance, before a note had been played, was pure joy. pic.twitter.com/lCk0FkdWxZ
