Looking back on our June performances of Handel’s Giulio Cesare at The Grange Festival, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us and to the entire team at the Grange for their warm welcome.
It was a pleasure for Early Opera Company to bring Handel’s extraordinary masterpiece to life alongside such a talented cast, creative team, stage and technical crews, and the wonderful musicians of our orchestra.
“Curnyn conducts throughout with small-scale gestures, sets perfect tempi, ensures suitable (not excessive) decoration, and pulls this hugely entertaining show together with his Early Opera Company orchestra.”
★★★★★ – The Telegraph“Christian Curnyn directed the Early Opera Company in a shapely account of Handel’s miraculous score, nicely paced, neatly articulated and attentive to the singers’ needs.”
– BachTrack“Handel’s score is a delight and beautifully played by the Early Opera Company under the leadership of Catherine Martin.”
– West End Best Friend“An assured appearance from Christian Curnyn, conducting the period orchestra Early Opera Company in their Festival debuts.”
