Alcina [2005]

English Touring Opera (2005, 2009)
(UK tours)

“James Conway promised a serious answer to those would turn Handel into a clown and he delivers.  His staging of Alcina for English Touring Opera casts a spell from its first moments. It is a gorgeous evening.”
The Times

“Alcina is a fabulous vision: a perfected example of what a thinking director can achieve by the subtle power of suggestion. Sensual, searing, smouldering with passion and sensationally well directed, James Conway’s wise and intelligent staging is a masterpiece. Rarely does a touring production have so much to offer. Worth moving heaven and earth to see.”
