I just wanted to drop you a quick line to say how much I enjoyed WAC’s production of BERNARDA ALBA last night.
I thought the energy especially in the ensemble work was excellent and the degree of focus and accuracy in the Flamenco sequences particularly effective. ‘The Prologue’ was such a great start to the production, looking around during the well-deserved applause, I could see that the whole room was beaming.
I am a great fan of the score but the music is deceptively difficult to prepare and perform. Given that it conveys both mood and narrative, it was very well done and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of hearing the score performed live. The band was excellent.
It was clear that the rest of the audience thoroughly enjoyed the production.
Thank you for letting my colleagues and I attend the performance and I hope the rest of the run goes as well.
Kind Regards,
Robert
