Don Giovanni - Rye Arts Festival 2015
The wonderful cast includes soprano Ranveig Káradóttir, who returns to Rye after appearing in La Traviata last year, and she, along with Turiya Haudenhuyse as Donna Elvira and Jerome Knox were my particular favourites, but it is invidious of me to single out anyone in so talented a cast; they were all excellent.

La traviata – Rye Arts Festival 2014
But the star of the night and plainly a fully fledged star in a wider context , was Icelandic soprano Rannveig Karadottir. Her Violetta convinced totally; her expressive, beautiful and flexible voice, allied to powerful acting and stage presence, enabled her to present coquettishness, carelessness, indecision, suffering and pathos in a definitive portrait of the central character. Her vocal and gestural intensity in the final scene made Violetta’s death create in the audience the pity and fear necessary to ensure the catharsis Verdi surely aimed for.
