“From among the strong cast, several performances stood out in particular.
Both Sion Goronwy as Sarastro and Frazer Scott as the Speaker of the Temple were suitably authoritative, while placing unorthodox spins on their respective characters. With his dark and commanding bass Goronwy made Sarastro a slightly angrier and more irascible figure than usual, while conversely Scott’s Speaker seemed notably convivial and understanding.”

“Worth mentioning, too, that there was a subset that was again more than the sum of its parts: the Mechanicals, James Way a stunning Flute, the experienced John Savournin as Quince, Frazer Scott as Snug and Geoffrey Dolton as Starveling.”

“A trampoline was introduced for the Rude Mechanicals’ rehearsal, which Snug (an hilarious Frazer Scott) stubbed his toe on”

“With strong support from Yvonne Howard as Ludmila, William Dazeley as Krušina, Isabelle Petes as Esmeralda, Frazer Scott as the Strongman, John Savournin as Mícha and Louise Winter as háta, this is not so much an evening in which there is nothing not to like, as one in which there is everything to enthuse about.”

“Just magical. I’d love to mention all the singers, but space doesn’t allow.
Suffice it, then, to commend Zoe Drummond’s lovely Euridice, compelling character singing from Ossian Huskinson as Pluto, and Frazer Scott as Charon.”

There’s much excellent singing all round, however, particularly from Claire Lees, setting the scene as La Musica, Frazer Scott as a gravelly Charon, and Lauren Joyanne Morris as a darkly glinting Persephone”

“Sometimes everything comes right in the theatre…. There are multiple virtuoso vocal moments in Monteverdi’s score too, not least from the now veteran Diana Montague in the role of the messenger who brings the news of Eurydice’s death, and is so devastated that she retreats from the world to live in a cave. Frazer Scott provides a tenebrously dark-toned Charon, accompanied by the wonderfully filthy sounding reed regal organ.”

“Orfeo at Garsington Opera? Hell yes! Frazer Scott’s Charon was mesmerizing”
