The Royal Opera’s The Rake’s Progress Reviews

July 11, 2008

Robert LePage’s production of The Rake’s Progress is currently at Covent Garden. The reviews seem mixed, Rupert Christiansen found the production dull, but Warwick Thompson found it magical. I should have liked to hear John Relyea sing Nick Shadow, as I found James Morris a bit boring in that role last year.
