Hamlet, Four Shorts, and Orphée at the Buxton Festival, July 2025
Posted on 16 July 2025This was my first encounter with the Hamlet of French composer Ambroise Thomas, and very moving it was. The Festival also performed a brief seventeenth opera, Charpentier’s La descente d’Orphée aux enfers, plus four short operas, two of which were interesting — see my review in The Article.
