L’HEURE ESPAGNOLE (Grange Park Opera/Wigmore Hall)****

L’heure espagnole is really quite a naughty opera but there’s something really sweet and funny about it too. I think maybe the characters are deep enough for us to be interested in them but not so deep we’re actually going to feel bad for Torquemada?

I’ve seen Owen Wingrave twice and on both occasions, it’s been filmed on location. I believe the original production was as well.

That isn’t a complaint. There’s clearly something about the film that screams “Film me on location.” Without seeing it on stage, I can’t really say if it would work or not, but Stephen Medcalf’s production is very intense on film.
