The newspaper article says most of it but here are just a few of the comments we’ve received:
‘It’s a triumph. You’ve won me over the Purcell!’

‘What a wonderful evening. The choir did you proud. Dido was magnificent and the witches got into my dreams!’
‘I thoroughly enjoyed it and so did (the rest) of a very apreciatve audience.’
‘I wouldn’t have missed it for the world! I thought I had no interest in opera but I was moved to all spectrums of the emotional scale. Laughing at the cherubs and witches, who were fabulous, to crying at the end. I am in awe of you all!’
‘I just wanted to send you a note to say how much I enjoyed singing with you, the choir and the ensemble. It was a really special project which culminated in a gorgeous performance of the opera. Congratulations – I totally appreciate the amount of work for everyone involved over many months and it was a pleasure to join you for final rehearsals and performance.’
‘Please pass on my congratulations and thanks to all of the choir- they were so welcoming, the atmosphere was really lovely throughout the weekend and they sounded fantastic!’
