"Opera choice: This King Arthur is a giddy triumph for its artists. Blazing their way through the score, the performers set a new benchmark, delivering a production that's equally gutsy and gorgeous ... Grand choruses are crisp and alluring. Amorous ensembles ooze passion, with guest soprano Sophie Junker irresistible as Cupid, while in comic airs tenor Robert Buckland and guest countertenor David Feldman smash decorum, whooping it up in falsetto ... Director Lionel Meunier is the real star, with a soaring vision of Purcell's music in a class of its own".
