Belcombe Court, Bradford-on-AvonIford Arts have relocated Donizetti’s comic opera to a 1920s California citrus grove, and deliver it with gusto A geodesic dome was never going to have the intimate charm of the Italianate cloister that was Iford Arts’ previous performing space at Iford Manor but, in its temporary accommodation within the elegant grounds of Belcombe Court, Wiltshire, the energy and flair of the company was as evident as ever.

Noah Mosley’s music was irrepressible. He’s ‘committed to opera that speaks to a wide audience’ so has scoured music’s back catalogue to bring us a straight-forwardly unaffected, if rather derivative work. Stylistically romantic it does the business in generating the energy of a mythical and fantastical land with oodles of cheeky […]
