Curlew River
Cambridge Summer MusicJul 2025 - Jul 2025Armand Rabot almost stole the show as the ferryman. He had immense power in his bass baritone and brought a nuanced reading to the role – even the odd flash of cynical humour in this largely dark and unsettling opera. Oliver Bowes also brought the character of the sympathetic traveller to life – powerfully sung and delicately portrayed.
