  • Il Barbiere di Siviglia

    Opera Holland Park, London
    Jun 2024

    • The visuals neatly match the vitality of Rossini’s music, which is purveyed to perfection by conductor Charlotte Corderoy, who shows an easy command of the score and of how to present it to its best advantage

    • From the beginning there’s Charlotte Corderoy’s almost exhaustingly vigorous conducting, pointing up every sprightly rhythm and subtlety in Rossini’s bubbly score.

    • Charlotte Corderoy led a performance that romped along. Dynamic, yet sensitive when necessary, Corderoy showed a knack for Rossini and credit to her for getting involved with the fun.

    • Charlotte Corderoy draws out a buoyant, pacey musical performance, with the City of London Sinfonia in fine form

  • The Pilgrim's Progress, Three Choirs Festival

    • What can I say about Corderoy? She is a former organ scholar, who apparently learnt the instrument in double quick time on an organ built by her father in her bedroom, then decided to be a conductor, and here she was aged 25, conducting one of our top orchestras in a difficult, complicated work, in a hostile acoustic, in a packed cathedral. Her control was immaculate, her grasp of the music’s elaborate ebb and flow apparently flawless. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra played for her like angels.

    • The young and strikingly impressive Charlotte Corderoy – was in command of her material, holding the pace and keeping everything together. The RPO produced appropriately ethereal sounds.

  • Hansel und Gretel

    Holland Park
    Jun 2023

    • Details pop, articulation keeps the score fizzing, and Humperdinck’s sweeping transitions were handled especially impressively by Corderoy, who pressed on tempi to prevent things from getting too sleepily indulgent. The overture and ballet sequence were especially vivid instances of musical storytelling that supported the drama.
