La sonnambula is a funny little opera which tells the story of Amina, a sleepwalker, who gets herself into all sorts of trouble by ending up in a stranger’s bed.


Ewen Lesley’s Richard is powerful and compelling, so ruinously evil and forcefully seductive that you just want to shag him out of sheer gratitude.



Strong singing and enjoyable broad physical comedy rescued the opera from its weaker elements, in what is undoubtedly a very accessible interpretation of Puccini’s work.
