Awards and reviews

In the still undervalued genre of chamber opera, Fanny Robin deserves more frequent performances. Characterisation is idiomatically drawn from Hardy, with incidental details sparingly yet effectively sketched in. Manning is sympathetic as the luckless village girl, caught in an untoward chain of events. Scottish Opera's production is captured to telling spatial effect.
