Reviews – Longborough Festival Opera – La Boheme
British Theatre Guide – ‘everything is led by a note-perfect Longborough Festival Orchestra under Alice Farnham’s confident baton’ –
Opera Scene – ‘Under the baton of Alice Farnham, the orchestra did a phenomenal job of creating a sound worthy of an ensemble twice their size’
Opera Today – ‘Although performing a reduced orchestration of the score, this account by Alice Farnham and the Longborough Festival Orchestra lacks nothing in drama or pace, bringing out the playfulness of the light-hearted passages, but also the surging passion and pathos of the more serious episodes, without resort to sentimentality or overwrought musical gestures’. –
