Wonderful singing and characterisation. Mephistopheles was a delight. The playing from the orchestra was gorgeous. It was a good evening out.

But... the production was primary school stuff. "Right children, how do we make this fuddy duddy old thing edgy and up to date?" "Oh I know sir. Lets have lots of mobile phones". "And we could have computer graphics - my IT teacher showed us how to do that." "We don't need to worry about the original boring old story".

"And we could make a statement about nasty right wing politics".

"Well done. learners." "Next time we'll show how Siegfried can reduce his carbon footprint in his furnace".
