Reviews
"Excellent production of Il Viagge a Reims, very talented orchestra and players, marred terribly at the end with their insertion of political historical interpretation and a revolutionary moment then the purile caging of the poetess in a guilded cage that goes against the theme of the opera, spoiled the whole thing for me which is a pity as it was otherwise excellently done. If they love the French revolution, so much I advise they read a proper history book."
"I am choir lead at a Norfolk primary school and we were asked to be the Children's Choir in La Boheme. From the start, we were given lots of help and advice and any question was answered quickly. The learning resources meant my children easily got to grips with the fast Italian. We had a clear timetable on the day for what to expect - although there was lots of waiting about, the children were kept busy. They enjoyed time with the Stage Manager and had a practice on stage. They were most excited to wear their costumes and to hear the 'Children's Choir' call through the tannoy. Several children were extremely nervous but they overcame these and loved their time on the stage. Nearly all of the choir stayed to watch the 2nd half and they were realy invested in the story. They definitely now know more about opera than they did before and some want to find out more about it. Thank you for asking us to sing with you!"
"ETO recently brought an opera for young people to my school in the North-East of England. It was a thoroughly engaging performance of truly excellent musicianship, which our students (a mixture of KS2 and KS3 children) found really exciting and enjoyable, as well as thought-provoking. Their operas for adults are superb too, go and see one next time they're in town!"
"The English Touring Opera were fantastic to work with! The event was well organised and the ETO were very flexible with any issues that our choir faced. The conductor was brilliant and the concert was engaging and exciting to sing. It was a great experience and I would love to work with the ETO again in the future."
"Older members of Devon County Junior Choir were invited to perform Bach's St. John Passion with ETO at Crediton (Devon) - it was a real thrill and pleasure working together. The children were made to feel very welcome and involved and the experience of performing with such talented musicians was invaluable - a very special and inspirational evening!"
