It’s been a few years since I last played with the OAE at Glyndebourne and it’s a great pleasure to be back in this amazing place for the first night in a run of Verdi’s Falstaff conducted by Sir Mark Elder.
Terrific singing and playing by all, with the OAE stepping outside its comfort zone in challenging repertoire for expansive forces – a large-scale operation. I was particularly proud of the way the OAE wind section rose to the challenge – a splendid first night!
