Charles Villiers Stanford The Travelling Companion, with the New Sussex Opera at Cadogan Hall. Good performances but less than ideal opera. "Stanford’s The Travelling Companion is melodious if not very memorable. One senses that Stanford had the weapons in his arsenal to produce an excellent opera but failed to get all guns firing at the same time. That said, the large audience at Cadogan Hall were loud-voiced in their praise and appreciation. We should be grateful to NSO for giving us the chance to hear this opera which undoubtedly has merits and appeal." Please read Claire Seymour's review here in Opera Today.
