These performers are extraordinarily talented. It's my first taste of live opera and their voices just go straight through you! Amazing! Angela G's voice is magnificent and her passion exudes. Wonderful striking dresses too! I cant believe that Placido Domingo can still belt them out at 70 years old and they both have incredible charisma!!
Me and my husband loved most of it apart from the Bernstein section and 'I could have danced all night'. We are not fans of this music and i dont feel it suits operatic vocals. But everyone else seemed to love it! (???)
The 02 is unimpressive: ugly, very cramped seating, an eye sore. I've been to football stadia that are better than this! But the tickets were quite reasonable (i wanted tickets for the Opera House but they were as usual, obstructively and outrageously expensive). We would not return to this venue but we would definately want to see both these performers again if we could afford it. As a working class girl, from a lagre council estate in Watford i think it's so important that any opera is accessible to all and not monopolised by the middle and upper classes! It's simply wonderful!
