“…while that of Gasparina’s youthful male admirer is entrancingly performed by a woman (mezzo Helen Maree Cooper).... Cooper’s fleet mezzo is nicely scaled to Haydn’s music. Neither of them misses a dramatic trick.” G.Hall @TheStage

Thoroughly enjoyed Haydn’s La Canterina this afternoon @BuxtonFestival. Lots of laughs with terrific singing from the soloists and excellent playing from the Buxton Chamber Collective. Bravo to all involved! 👏👏👏👍👍👍
