There was no weak link in the cast here… A trio of ‘Britishers’ (Mistress Bentson, an English Governess, Miss Ellen, Gérard’s fiancée and Miss Rose, Ellen’s companion) were utterly delightful.

The treatment of the three English women is pure comedy… all the singers (Elgan Llŷr Thomas, Julien Van Mellaerts, Lorena Paz Nieto, Sarah Pring and Caroline Carragher) brought lightness and joy to these ensembles whilst giving us hints of individual characters. Lorena Paz Nieto’s Miss Ellen was certainly no cool English rose and Paz Nieto sang her with delightful coquettish charm, whilst Caroline Carragher gave Miss Rose a nicely contrasting demure poise. Sarah Pring was great value as their governess, performing with great aplomb.
