Listen to a Sample:
Pros:
- Michael Tippett was spoiled by a stellar cast for the World Premiere of his opera The Midsummer Marriage, and he doesn't squander the opportunity to tailor-craft vocal lines that give each of the leads a chance to show off their considerable talents.
- A young Joan Sutherland shines bright in the role of Jenifer.
- The choral writing is one of the most important componants of this opera, and the forces of Covent Garden acquit the task with impressive skill.
Cons:
- None to mention.
