WHAT THE PRESS SAID ABOUT THIS CONCERT FEAST FOR SUMMER Nottingham Festival Opera's feast of summer music-making radiated enthusiasm and generosity of spirit, as well as displaying an impressive array of talent. Guest soloists, Deborah Norman and Simon Curtis took turns with the Festival Opera's own soloists and Chorus to bring a rich selection of easily digestible fare just right for the occasion, from Lehar and Romberg to Rogers, Kern and Bernstein, weighed down by a judicious seasoning of Tchaikovsky and Verdi. The Festival Opera Orchestra under Andrew Nicklin gave excellent support throughout. NOTTINGHAM EVENING POST - JUNE 2008
