Glyndebourne on Tour features Cosi fan Tutte, Turn of the Screw and Die Fledermaus, and they are all worth catching, says Barry Millington.
Glyndebourne on Tour
Sadler's Wells, EC1
Nicholas Hytner's new production of Mozart's Cosi fan tutte (Tues and Fri), first seen at the summer festival earlier this year, is revived for this winter tour by Samantha Potter. Andrew Kennedy and Rodion Pogossov star as the doubting males, with Jenny Carlstedt and Aga Mikolaj as their put-upon lovers.
Jonathan Kent's stylish production of Britten's Turn of the Screw (Thurs) features Kate Royal as an admirable Governess, while Edward Gardner conducts his last performance as Glyndebourne on Tour's Music Director.
The incoming Music Director, Robin Ticciati, is on the podium for the third production of the series, Johann Strauss's Die Fledermaus (Wed and Sat). (0870 737 7737). Tonight, Sat 9 Dec, 7.15pm.
