An outstanding and very underused performance comes from Gemma Morsely as Lucrezia. Her soaring voice and acting talent is suited to something like opera; a forum that is crying out for people that can combine those two talents.
The singing is of a high standard throughout with no weak links, but Gemma Morsley as Dorabella stands out.
Gemma Morsley’s waspy yet vulnerable Marcellina is an absolute delight, getting right to the heart of the role with her finely-honed mezzo (not to mention some fabulous dancing, handbag clutched and ready).
