Page 559 - Aldeburgh Festival 2022 FINAL COVERAGE BOOK

The sleek costumes of Cécile Trémolières defy any direct historical setting, with
ruffs, wellington boots and billowy dresses. Animation by Adam Sinclair blasts into
the uncanny and unnerving conclusion, with the green screen videography of

Ricardo Markin a vivid sight. Another pleasure came from the sound design
from Jasmin Kent Rodgman, yearning bell effects which fermented in the speakers
and perfectly soundtracked scene changes.

This heady, intense opera whips away any doubts about post-COVID insecurities
and only affirms Music Theatre Wales’ position in music-making.

Sherman Theatre, Cardiff, Wed 8 June
