Reviews:
‘This production’s slow journey from darkness into the light… works well on the small screen, not least thanks to High Definition camera work and Sue Judd’s inspired direction for television. The real magic, though, is supplied by the onstage cast and intensified by Colin Davis in the pit.’ (Classic fM)
‘Diana Damrau’s supremely sung Queen of the Night oozes class, while Simon Keenlyside’s profoundly human, touchingly sympathetic view of Papageno deserves an Olivier Award.’ (Classic fM)
‘…a must have.’ (BBC Music Magazine)
‘Sir Colin Davis… lives every moment of the score and conveys all its profound humanity.’ (Gramophone)
